Talk:NMEA 2000

snood

Various instruments that meet the NMEA 2000 standard are connected to one central cable, known as a backbone, by snoods.

What's a snood? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:569:BB33:5B00:890D:EA20:AD3B:B284 (talk) 02:56, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

@2001:569:BB33:5B00:890D:EA20:AD3B:B284: Thank you for spotting that, the edit that added "snoods" has been undone. In reality small "T-junction" and "drop cables" are used for attaching to the backbone cable. —Sladen (talk) 09:38, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Removed material that was copied directly from the NMEA whitepaper

I removed some copyrighted material from this article. The deleted materials came from page 19 of the NMEA whitepaper. The copy was so direct that it even maintains certain typos from the original, e.g. "Successive frames use just single data byte". TimSmit (talk) 18:13, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
