Maretron Micro Powertap 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 offers a dedicated and reliable way to power your NMEA 2000® network backbone. Unlike a standard NMEA 2000® T-connector with a power cable, the Powertap T-connector provides NMEA 2000 network power with two separate power inputs to increase the power capacity and functionality of your NMEA 2000® network. Both branches can handle loads up to 4A and the Powertap T-cable allows these branches to be switched on and off independently. The Powertap T-connector has two Micro C Female connectors. 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 NMEA2000 drop cable, making installation simple, understandable, and reliable. In NMEA 2000 systems, it is essential to use only dedicated NMEA 2000 approved cables and connectors to ensure correct data transmission and network reliability. To integrate an NMEA2000 network with a Raymarine STNG network, use original adapter cables. Do not duplicate the power circuits or grounds of different integrated networks. NB! The different spellings NMEA 2000, NMEA2000, NMEA2k and N2K all refer to the same thing, which is NMEA 2000®.

Electric:

• Rated voltage: 250 V
• Maximum current: 4.0 amps

Environment

• Protection Class: IEC IP67, NEMA 1, 3, 4, 6P
• Operating temperature: -40 °C to 105 °C (-40 °F to 221 °F)

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.
