raymarine networking options

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Dave,

As Raymarine has never produced a product having the name e78, it may be that you actually own an eS78 MFD.

Q1. Currently, there is a Fusion BB100 receiver and a Fusion NRX300 remote- these are now connected together using NEMA 2000 connection and work fine, but, add in my Raymarine e78 display to the network.
(is there a simple adapter that will allow me to connect the e78's black / white spur cable to the NEMA 2000 network that are installed now?)

A1. Please click here to view a FAQ addressing this subject. Fusion products feature NMEA 2000 networking components designed with DeviceNet Micro-C male and female connectors. Should the currently installed NMEA 2000 backbone feature an unused spur socket having a DeviceNet Micro-C Female connector, then an A06076 / 39.4in (1.0m) DeviceNet Male to SeaTalkng Spur Cable or A06046 / 59.1in (1.5m) DeviceNet Male may be used to mate the Data Master MFD's SeaTalkng port to the NMEA 2000 backbone's unused spur socket.

Q2. ADDITIONALLY- IF POSSIBLE:
2- IF POSSIBLE- add in my old school furuno radar that has a NEMA 0183 CONNECTION ON BACK. (its a male connector on back- 4 prongs).
A2. You may want to consider using a NMEA 0183 to NMEA 200 data bridging device (ex. Actisense NGW-1-ISO, etc.) to interface your third party NMEA 0183 device to the NMEA 2000 backbone.
