Actisense NGX-1-USB NMEA 0183 to NMEA 2000 Gateway with USB PC Interface

The Actisense NGX-1-USB is an intelligent bidirectional gateway that converts NMEA 0183 data to NMEA 2000 and vice versa, enabling seamless communication between legacy and modern marine electronics. This versatile device allows you to upgrade select vessel electronics to NMEA 2000 while retaining existing NMEA 0183 equipment, spreading the cost of transitioning to the newer standard over time.

Key Features:

• Bidirectional conversion between NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 protocols
• USB interface for direct PC connectivity with NMEA 0183 software applications
• Fully isolated USB connection prevents dangerous ground loops
• Acts as rule-enforcing firewall between PC and NMEA 2000 network
• Supports data transfer rates up to 230,400 baud
• Powers directly from NMEA 2000 network—no separate power supply required
• Integrated 1.8m (6 ft) USB cable for convenient installation
• Diagnostic LEDs on both input and output for troubleshooting
• Compatible with Raymarine SeaTalkNG products via STNG-A06045 adapter cable

Versatile Connectivity:

The NGX-1-USB serves dual purposes as both a protocol gateway and an NMEA 2000 to PC interface. Connect it to your PC to run feature-rich navigation software that can replace or complement dedicated hardware like multifunction displays or chartplotters. The device provides full user control over which data is transmitted or blocked, and supports transfer of every currently available NMEA 2000 PGN (Parameter Group Number) to PC applications.

This model features dedicated transmit and receive data wire pairs for reliable NMEA 0183 connectivity, with OPTO-isolation on the input and ISO-Drive technology on the output to protect your electronics from hazardous ground loops. An essential diagnostic tool for modern marine electronics installations.
