A-NGX-1-USB NMEA2000/NMEA0183 converter

$275.00

The handy firewall feature enforces the NMEA 2000 bus rules, allowing software developers to create compliant software at a fraction of the direct certification costs. The supporting Actisense Software Development Kit (SDK) helps to reduce the required development time. Actisense welcomes enquiries from software manufacturers who would like to incorporate NMEA 2000 and the NGX-1 into their software.

Bridge an NMEA 2000 network with your older NMEA 0183 electronics using the NGX-1. The NGX-1 offers the largest range of conversions available on the market. For a full, up-to-date list of the conversions the various configurations can handle, please click here.

The NGX-1 is available in two versions:

NGX-1-USB: Equipped with a USB cable to allow Plug and Play connectivity with a PC.
NGX-1-ISO: Provides an opto-isolated interface for specialised installations.
