Actisense NBF-3 NMEA buffer, for securely connecting six NMEA receivers. The NMEA signals are buffered to ensure that each listener receives the data at the required voltage levels, providing consistent data quality.
Isolation on the input and each of the outputs ensures protection of the source-speaker device and all listening devices. The secure connections allow an uninsulated device to be connected and prevent the NBF-3 from damaging other equipment in the system. Ground loops often occur when devices are not insulated and can cause irreparable damage. Actisense's ISO-Drive technology on the outputs along with galvanic opto-isolation on the input means you can connect the NBF-3 with complete peace of mind.
The NBF-3 has the addition of power distribution for the NMEA speaker. Using power and data from the same source reduces cabling requirements and makes installation easy.
