NMEA 0183 to USB C adaptor

The NMEA 0183 to USB C adaptor works on the most modern PCs and Macs. It converts NMEA 0183 data, used by many marine systems, into a USB C (the new style mini format) that can be plugged into the latest generation of computers.

The adaptor is a bi-directional device. Therefore, data can be sent to and from systems and supports traditional 4800 baud data or the higher speed 38400 baud rate used by AIS systems. LEDs show data being received and transmitted – thus helping  with interfacing issues and encapsulating all the electronics into the connector.

The device creates a virtual COM port on the PC which navigation and charting software can use to read NMEA data. If necessary, multiple adaptors can be connected . This effectively allows the creation of any number of NMEA ports on your PC.

Drivers for this device can be downloaded from our website.  It’s Windows XP/7/8/10/11 compatible.  MAC and Linux/Raspberry Pie drivers are also available.
