FURUNO IF CONVERTER IF-NMEA2K-0183 Navigation Cable
The FURUNO IF CONVERTER IF-NMEA2K-0183 is a navigation cable that converts NMEA 0183 data to NMEA 2000 protocol, weighing 1 lb (0.45 kg). This unit facilitates communication between older NMEA 0183 devices and new NMEA 2000 systems, making it essential for modern marine navigation setups.
Compatibility & Applications
- Wires to existing NMEA 0183 devices for integration with NMEA 2000 networks.
- Fits installations in sailboats and motor yachts requiring data conversion.
- Pairs with FURUNO navigation systems for seamless data transfer.
- Replaces older data converters, enhancing compatibility with modern electronics.
- Mounts in various locations aboard vessels, including helm stations and electronics racks.
- Integrates with multifunction displays to provide real-time navigation data.
The unit streamlines data communication between legacy and current navigation systems, ensuring reliable operation in marine environments. For instance, it can be installed in a motor yacht’s helm to connect an older autopilot system to a new chart plotter. Its robust construction and IP54 rating distinguish it from generic models, providing added durability against moisture and dust.
