ShipModul MiniPlex-Lite NMEA0183 Multiplexer (BMP0107) - Your Navigation Gateway
Optimize your navigation system on board with the ShipModul MiniPlex-Lite NMEA0183 multiplexer, with article number BMP0107. This is the entry-level model and the hassle-free solution for bundling and managing your nautical data.
The MiniPlex-Lite is a easy to install base unit, designed to provide the fundamental elements of a multiplexer without configuration needed. You do not need to select baud rates just connect and immediately use your navigation information on your computer.
Key Features
- Three NMEA0183 Inputs: Connect up to three different NMEA0183 instruments (such as GPS, depth sounder, compass).
- One NMEA0183 Output: Send the merged data to a single NMEA device (such as a plotter or VHF radio).
- USB Computer Interface: A bidirectional USB port for seamless connection to your laptop, PC or navigation computer.
- Plug & Play: A zero-configuration design makes installation quick and easy.
- Galvanic Isolation: All NMEA0183 inputs are galvanically isolated to prevent ground loop issues and electrical interference, enhancing the reliability of your system.
- High-Speed Support: One of the inputs supports auto-detection of baud rate up to 38400 baud for high-speed devices such as AIS.
