Description
⚓ Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF)
The ONWA NMEA 2000 4-Port Multiport Junction Connector provides a compact, space-saving hub to branch up to four NMEA 2000 instrument drops into the vessel’s primary CAN-bus backbone. Molded from rugged glass-filled nylon with IP68 hermetic sealing, gold-plated contacts, and integrated screw-mounting tabs, it eliminates messy clusters of daisy-chained tees behind modern ship bridge consoles. Available from Seanav Marine, Dubai Maritime City.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Expert Insights
Q: How many devices can be connected to the 4-port multiport hub?
A: It features four Micro-C female drop ports to connect four separate displays or sensors, plus two end ports for backbone line-in and line-out (or termination).
Q: Does this multiport connector replace individual T-connectors?
A: Yes. It replaces four separate T-connectors and their intermediate junctions, reducing potential points of failure and installation labor.
Q: What is the IP waterproof rating?
A: It is rated IP68 waterproof, maintaining complete protection against water intrusion even in damp bilge and console environments.
Q: Are the electrical contacts corrosion-resistant?
A: Yes. All pins are manufactured from phosphor bronze plated with gold for maximum conductivity and zero galvanic corrosion in saltwater atmospheres.
Q: Can two 4-port connectors be coupled together?
A: Yes. Multiple 4-port blocks can be joined together using short backbone cables to create 8-port, 12-port, or larger centralized distribution hubs.
Q: Where can I buy the ONWA 4-Port connector in the UAE?
A: Seanav Marine stocks the connector at Dubai Maritime City with fast delivery across the UAE and Gulf region.
