Maretron FA-CF-ST NMEA 2000 Female Field Connector

Maretron Micro Straight Female Field-Attachable NMEA 2000 Connector

The Maretron FA-CF-ST is a field-attachable Micro-C NMEA 2000 straight female connector engineered for on-site termination and repair of NMEA 2000 backbone cables and drop lines. It allows technicians and marine installers to make custom-length CAN bus cable runs or field-repair damaged drops without requiring pre-molded factory patch cords.

Constructed with an IP67-rated nickel-plated brass coupling nut and a rugged thermoplastic housing, the FA-CF-ST features internal screw-down terminal connections that accept standard Micro NMEA 2000 wire gauges (22 AWG power/ground and 24 AWG data pair). Integrated internal strain relief secures the cable jacket against vibration and tensile pull, ensuring continuous network integrity across marine CAN bus backbones.

Key Features

• On-Site Cable Customization: Enables rapid termination of bulk NMEA 2000 Micro cable to exact vessel routing lengths.

• Screw Terminal Connections: Color-coded internal screw terminals allow tool-free solderless termination using standard precision screwdrivers.

• IP67 Waterproof Rating: Heavy-duty internal rubber gland and threaded coupling nut provide an airtight, watertight seal against saltwater ingress.

• Secure Strain Relief: Mechanical cable clamp prevents wire tension and terminal fatigue caused by engine vibration or hull movement.

• Standard Micro-C Compatibility: Industry-standard M12 5-pin thread mates directly with all standard NMEA 2000 Micro tees, MFDs, and sensors across Lowrance, Simrad, Garmin, and Raymarine networks.
