Actisense PRO-NBF-1 NMEA Buffer with Opto-Isolated Input and Six ISO-Drive Outputs

The Actisense PRO-NBF-1 NMEA Buffer is a robust and reliable device designed to safely distribute NMEA 0183 data streams from a single talker to multiple listeners. Featuring one opto-isolated input and six ISO-Drive outputs, it ensures full electrical isolation between the data source and connected devices, protecting sensitive marine electronics from potential electrical faults. The buffer amplifies and buffers data signals to maintain consistent voltage levels, regardless of load, providing high-quality data transmission in demanding environments. Its rugged stainless steel housing offers durability and RF shielding, making it suitable for both commercial and recreational marine applications. The device is equipped with pluggable screw terminals for straightforward wiring, a professional DIN rail mounting system, and optional strain relief brackets for cable management. Its integrated LEDs provide real-time status updates for power, input, and output operation, simplifying setup and troubleshooting. The PRO-NBF-1 supports multiple communication standards, including RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485, with baud rates ranging from 4800 to 115200 bps, ensuring broad compatibility. Its compact design, combined with type approval from RINA and compliance with EMC standards, makes it an ideal choice for critical data distribution in marine environments. Power input is flexible, accepting 9 to 35V DC, with protections against reverse polarity and ESD. The device's ISO-Drive technology on the outputs and opto-isolation on the input guarantee electrical safety for both the source and the listeners, preventing ground loops and voltage surges. With a five-year warranty, the Actisense PRO-NBF-1 offers peace of mind for professional installations, ensuring reliable data distribution and device protection in challenging conditions.
