The plug is black and matches SimNet connector geometry used on SimNet and SimNet-based NMEA 2000 installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers unused SimNet ports to reduce exposure to dust and moisture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps keep connector contacts cleaner during washdowns, storage, and staged installs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to fit SimNet connector ends used on Simrad SimNet networks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful on spare tees, joiners, and any SimNet lead that is not currently connected\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack finish that stays discreet in the helm, dash cavities, and electronics lockers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis plug is for SimNet connectors. It will not fit NMEA 2000 Micro-C or other network connector styles.

Leave it in place until that port is needed, then remove it before mating the connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eHandy for new installs where the backbone is built ahead of time and extra ports are left open, or for boats that keep spare tees in the console for future expansion. It is a good match for SimNet-equipped boats that see salt spray, washdowns, or high humidity around the helm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse salt off during routine wipe-downs and check that the plug is seated any time you service the network. Replace it if it becomes damaged or no longer stays snug on the connector.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simrad","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269098827957,"sku":"QBP216668","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1298467_qbp216668.jpg?v=1771541861","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp216668","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
