Maretron Micro Power Tap T connector

The Maretroni Micro Powertap T fitting allows power to be supplied from two separate inputs.

The Maretron Micro Powertap T-Connector CF-SPWR05-CF provides a dedicated and reliable way to power your NMEA 2000® network backbone. Unlike standard T-connectors that join NMEA 2000® devices, this Powertap T-connector offers “bus” power with two separate inputs to enhance the power and functionality of your NMEA 2000® network. Both branches can handle a load of up to 4 A, and this also allows these branches to be switched on and off independently. It is crucial to ensure that both branches are powered from the same power source (battery bank). The yellow colour helps to easily distinguish the power cable and avoid confusion with a standard NMEA 2000 drop cable, making installation simple, understandable and reliable. In NMEA 2000 systems, it is important to use only dedicated NMEA 2000 approved cables and connectors to ensure correct data transmission and network reliability. Use original adapter cables to integrate the NMEA 2000 network with a Raymarine STNG network. Do not duplicate the power or ground circuits of different integrated networks.

Note:

NMEA 2000 cables are available in two sizes, Micro and Mini

• NMEA 2000® Micro cables are most common for boats up to 40 feet. Raymarine, Lowrance, and Simrad typically use this size of cable.
• NMEA 2000® Mini cables can withstand higher loads and are used on larger boats to ensure stable power supply even over longer distances.
