Actisense Quick Network Block Central Connector
The Actisense® Quick Network Block (QNB-1) allows backbone networking connections to be made easy and fault-free on National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) buses and networks.The QNB-1 is a multi-drop NMEA2000® network backbone connection block, adhering to the barrier strip connection type detailed in the NMEA2000® specification documents. To protect the power hookup, a fused connection is provided to the network backbone. This allows the current to be limited to the safe level for the network. Two fuses are provided, each powering two halves of the QNB-1, meaning that if the fuse blows to one half of the system, the other half can remain powered.In the simplest configuration, the QNB-1 can also be used as a simple fused IP66 sealed power connection block. LED indicators show power status, detect power reversal, and show whether the fuses are still intact. In addition, an indicator is provided to show the presence of data on the connected bus or network. No software or setup is
