Multiplexers & buffers NMEA 0183

NMEA 0183 multiplexers and buffers

An NMEA 0183 input can only receive data from one talker, so when several devices such as GPS, AIS and compass need to go to the same chartplotter or computer, a multiplexer is needed. It merges the data streams into one or more outputs, often with USB, Wi-Fi or a connection to NMEA 2000. A buffer does the opposite and distributes one signal to several receivers.

Benefits and features:

• Multiplexers from ShipModul (MiniPlex), Actisense and Yacht Devices
• Connection via USB, Wi-Fi, Ethernet or NMEA 2000
• SeaTalk1 support on selected models
• Buffers that split an NMEA 0183 signal
