Start Your NMEA 2000 Network — Everything in One Box
The Ancor 270203 is a complete starter kit for building a new NMEA 2000 backbone network on your boat. It includes every component needed to connect a single device to a new network — power cable, backbone cable, drop cable, tee connector, and both terminators. No hunting for individual parts; this kit gets your network up and running from scratch.
NMEA 2000 is the marine industry standard for connecting chartplotters, depth sounders, GPS sensors, engine monitors, and other electronics on a shared digital network. Once the backbone is in place, adding more devices is straightforward using additional tee connectors and drop cables.

Parts Desk Insights
This kit is the right starting point when you're building a brand-new NMEA 2000 network and connecting your first device. The 5 m backbone cable suits most small to mid-size vessels. If you need to connect two devices right away, consider the Ancor NMEA 2000 Dual Device Starter Kit instead. To extend your backbone later, additional Ancor NMEA 2000 Backbone Cables are available separately.
