NMEA 2000^® is a plug-and-play communications standard used for connecting marine sensors and display devices within ships and boats, and is considered the successor to the NMEA^® 0183 serial data bus standard. You can learn more about NMEA 2000 and purchase the NMEA 2000 standard documentation at nmea.org/content/STANDARDS/NMEA_2000.

Garmin^® uses NMEA 2000 micro connectors on devices, sensors, and T-connectors that are compatible with other NMEA 2000 micro connectors, cables, and NMEA 2000 compatible devices.
