Description
PRO NMEA Buffer - 1 OPTO Input, 6 ISO-Drive Outputs, Serial Port, Pluggable Screw Terminals Safely connect one Talker to six Listeners with full isolation. The Type-approved NMEA Buffer PRO-NBF-1 Buffer isolates and buffers NMEA 0183 data, with the power to drive multiple devices.
Able to distribute up to six identical, amplified streams of data from one source, the NMEA signals are buffered to ensure that each Listener receives the data at the required voltage levels, providing consistent data quality. Isolation of the input and outputs ensures the protection of the source Talker device and Listener devices.
The NMEA Buffer has ISO-Drive™ technology on the outputs and OPTO-isolation on the input, which enables you to connect the NMEA 0183 Buffer with complete peace of mind. The stainless steel housing makes the device rugged, sturdy, and gives it increased durability.
The metal case also acts as an RF Shield, making the device an ideal addition to commercial installations. To make installation quick and simple, the PRO-NBF-1 features 2-part pluggable connectors that allow use of screw terminals*, and a professional DIN Rail mounting system (DIN Rail not included).
The device can also be mounted directly to the bulkhead. The optional strain relief brackets can be provided to ensure reliable professional cable management.
Helpful LEDs indicate power, input, and output operation. Features: One Opto-Isolated Input Six ISO-Drive™ outputs Outputs automatically track the input baud rate RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 Listener compatible ISO-Drive separates the Listener from the Talker to protect both the PRO-NBF-1 and each connected device Wide compatibility means simplified installation Simple installation saves time and money and provides peace of mind Type Approved (RINA) Technical Specifications: Power Supply Input Supply Voltage - 9 to 35V DC Input Supply Current - 150mA max @ 12V DC (all outputs @ full drive into 100Ω loads) Input Protection - Continuous reverse polarity

Marine Navigation & Instruments — frequently asked
- What’s the difference between a chartplotter and a fishfinder?
- A chartplotter shows your GPS position on electronic charts for navigation. A fishfinder uses sonar to show what’s below the boat — depth, bottom structure, and fish. Many modern units combine both, and networked systems can share data across displays.
- Do I really need a VHF radio?
- For safety, yes. A VHF radio is the primary way to reach other vessels and the Coast Guard, and a DSC-equipped VHF connected to GPS can transmit your position in an emergency. It’s more reliable than a cell phone offshore and is the recognized standard for marine distress calls.
- What is NMEA 2000 and do I need it?
- NMEA 2000 is a standard network that lets marine electronics — chartplotter, sonar, autopilot, sensors, engine data — share information over a single backbone. It’s not required for a simple setup, but it makes multi-device systems far easier to expand and integrate.
