Description
Pro NMEA 0183 Multiplexer
Eight OPTO-isolated inputs and six ISO-Drive™isolated outputs. Offering device protection and excellent flexibility, all in one product.
Introducing the Actisense® PRO-MUX-2, the intelligent, type-approved PRO range multiplexer.
The PRO-MUX-2 is rugged, with a stainless steel housing, and provides isolation on all inputs and outputs. With eight NMEA 0183 inputs, six NMEA 0183 outputs, a bi-directional serial port and an Ethernet port, the PRO-MUX-2 is a perfect solution for larger leisure vessels, commercial shipping and is a great addition for systems that require type-approved devices.
The PRO-MUX-2 is designed to suit the majority of NMEA 0183 systems, from leisure through to class vessels.
