The below figure shows the difference from Figure 3-2 if the
CP34 is replaced by an NMEA2000 certified chart plotter from
another manufacturer (not SimNet product).

Figure 3-5 NMEA2000 network
Planning and installing a NMEA2000
network
NMEA2000 use different cable solutions with different
applications and network sizes.
NMEA2000 Light Cable installation
You can follow the guidelines on page 15 – 18 (disregard Figure
3-1, Figure 3-2, Figure 3-3) if you are using a NMEA2000 Light
Cable system with micro-C connectors and a network cable with
minimum 20 AWG (0.5 sq. mm.) power wires.
1
The NMEA2000 power cable does normally not include a
terminator. It is therefore important to install a terminator plug at
both ends of the network.
You must have a Tee connector (Micro-C) and a drop cable for
each product you want to connect. In addition you must have a
NMEA2000 power connector with 2 Micro-C connectors for the
network cable (Power Tee).
1
The minimum specified power wires for a NMEA2000 Light Cable is 22 AWG
(0.38 sq. mm.). In that case the system factor (SF) on page 15 must be calculated as:
SF = 1.3 • NLtot • Ltot.
