Actisense PRO-MUX-2 Professional Intelligent NMEA0183 Multiplexer

A robust and highly flexible NMEA 0183 platform that cures many inter-connectivity headaches!

---

Eight OPTO-isolated inputs and six ISO-Drive™isolated outputs.

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.
