Professional marine-grade NMEA buffer designed to safely distribute data from navigation sensors (GPS, AIS, Heading) to multiple listeners (Plotters, Radars, VDRs). Features galvanic isolation and auto-switching redundancy.
You are viewing a AEP MP2x8i NMEA Buffer. This device is an essential component for marine bridge systems, allowing you to split NMEA 0183 signals from up to 2 “Talkers” to 8 “Listeners” without data collision or ground loops.
It supports two operating modes:
Auto-Switching Mode: Automatically switches to a backup input if the primary signal is lost (ideal for redundant GPS setups).
Dual Mode: Operates as two independent buffers (1-in/4-out each) simultaneously.
Versatile Inputs: 2 Inputs (Compatible with RS232 or RS422).
Massive Output: 8 RS422 Outputs (Galvanically Isolated).
High Speed: Supports baud rates up to 230,400 bps (perfect for high-speed AIS data).
Safety First: Full galvanic isolation between power, input, and output to prevent ground loops and protect connected equipment.
Wide Voltage Range: Runs on 9 – 36 VDC (compatible with 12V and 24V systems).
Certified: RINA Type Approved & IEC60945 Certified for marine environments
