Check that the devices you are connecting use SimNet, or plan on the correct adapter cables if your boat is wired with a different connector format.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan the SimNet backbone path first, then place the T-joiner where you need an additional connection point. Termination belongs at the two ends of the backbone; this kit provides both termination pieces so you can close out the network without leaving an end open.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoute the cables where they will not chafe, avoid tight bends near connectors, and support the harness so vibration and pounding do not load the plugs over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eNetwork and data integration\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AT10 converter is used when you need SimNet to exchange data with devices that still communicate over NMEA 0183. Plan for the correct NMEA 0183 wiring and configuration on the non-SimNet side so the right sentences are available to the network.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWho it fits\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit is a good match for new installs and refits where a SimNet-based autopilot is being added and the boat needs the backbone pieces, termination, and a couple of longer cables to reach the mounting locations. It also fits mixed systems where NMEA 0183 equipment is staying onboard and needs a clean bridge into SimNet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simrad","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269098664117,"sku":"QBP491103","price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1298462_qbp491103.jpg?v=1771541855","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp491103","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
