Actisense PRO-BUF-2 NMEA 0183 Buffer 2 Input 12 Output Ethernet

The Actisense PRO-BUF-2 is a professional-grade NMEA 0183 buffering system designed to distribute navigation data throughout marine vessels with superior signal integrity and device protection. This advanced buffer features two opto-isolated inputs and twelve Iso-Drive™ isolated outputs, enabling reliable data transmission from multiple sources to numerous instruments and displays.

Key Features:

• Two opto-isolated NMEA 0183 inputs for connecting GPS, AIS, depth sounders, and other navigation instruments
• Twelve Iso-Drive™ isolated outputs provide robust signal distribution without ground loop interference
• Integrated Ethernet port enables TCP/IP network connectivity and remote configuration
• RS-232 serial port for direct computer connection and diagnostics
• Pluggable screw terminal connectors simplify installation and maintenance
• Galvanic isolation on all inputs and outputs protects sensitive electronics from voltage spikes
• Configurable baud rates support legacy and modern NMEA devices
• DIN rail mountable for professional installations

The PRO-BUF-2 solves common marine electronics problems including data collisions, signal degradation over long cable runs, and ground loop issues. Its Iso-Drive technology ensures each output is electrically isolated, preventing one faulty device from affecting the entire network. The Ethernet interface allows configuration via web browser and supports forwarding NMEA data to navigation software and mobile apps.

Ideal for commercial vessels, charter boats, and serious recreational mariners who demand reliable navigation data distribution across complex electronics systems.
