ACTISENSE USG-2: The Safe & Reliable USB to NMEA 0183 GatewayEffortlessly bridge the gap between your PC and your vessels marine electronics with the Actisense USG-2 USB to NMEA 0183 Gateway. Designed for boat owners, technicians, and marine enthusiasts who demand uncompromising reliability, the USG-2 is far more than a simple USB adapter. It is an intelligent and robust bi-directional gateway engineered to provide a fully isolated and safe connection, protecting your valuable laptop and onboard equipment from potentially damaging electrical faults.Unlock the full potential of your PC-based navigation software, chartplotters, and diagnostic tools. The USG-2 creates a secure data link, allowing your computer to receive data from NMEA 0183 devices like GPS, AIS, depth sounders, and wind instruments, as well as send data back to autopilots or other talkers on the network. Its superior electrical protection is the key differentiator, making it the professionals choice for any marine installation.Key Benefits:* Ultimate Electrical Protection: The USG-2 features full NMEA 0183 opto-isolation on the input and Actisenses proprietary ISO-Drive technology on the output. This creates a complete electrical barrier, eliminating the risk of ground loops and protecting your PCs sensitive USB port from voltage spikes and static discharge common in marine environments.* Seamless Software Compatibility: By creating a virtual COM port on your computer, the USG-2 ensures plug-and-play compatibility with a vast range of marine software across Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux operating systems. It behaves exactly as the software expects, guaranteeing a stable and dependable connection.* High-Speed Data Ready: Fully capable of handling baud rates up to 115200 bps, the USG-2 is perfectly suited for modern, high-data-rate applications, including receiving and processing information from AIS transponders and multiplexers without data loss or corruption.* Built for the Marine Environment: Engineered for durability, the USG-2 features a robust, over-molded enclosure and a shielded cable to prevent RFI interference. It is powered directly from the USB port, eliminating the need for an external power supply and simplifying installation.* Instant Diagnostics: Integrated LEDs for power and data activity provide an immediate visual confirmation that the unit is powered and that data is being successfully transmitted or received, simplifying troubleshooting.Main Features:* Bi-directional USB to NMEA 0183 interface* Inputs are opto-isolated to 2500V* Outputs are protected by ISO-Drive technology* Compatible with USB 1.1 and 2.0* Supports flexible baud rates from 4800 to 115200 bps* Powered entirely from the USB port* Diagnostic LEDs for power and data status* Shielded 1.5-meter cable* Virtual COM port drivers for Windows, Mac OS X, and LinuxConnectors:* PC Interface: USB Type plug* NMEA 0183 Interface: Stripped and tinned wires for direct and secure connection to an NMEA 0183 busTechnical Specifications:* Power Supply: USB Port Powered (5V DC @ 30mA max)* Input (NMEA 0183 Listener): Opto-isolated, 2500V isolation, reverse polarity and over-voltage protected* Output (NMEA 0183 Talker): ISO-Drive, short-circuit proof, and protected to /- 15V* Data Rate: Up to 115200 bps* Cable Length: 1.5 meters* Operating Temperature: -20C to 70C* Housing: Over-molded, flame retardant PVC* Certifications: CE, UKCA, RoHS Compliant Reviews There are no reviews yet.
