Ancor 270108 NMEA 2000 90 Degree Elbow Connector

Physical & Mechanical Specifications
• Connector Angle: 90 degrees
• Gender Configuration: Male to Female (one male end, one female end)
• Coupling Nut Material: Nickel-plated brass
• Housing Material: Rugged, marine-grade molded plastic
• Contact Material: Gold-plated copper alloy for maximum conductivity
⚡ Electrical & Network Specifications
• Network Compatibility: NMEA 2000 Micro-C standard
• Pin Count: 5-pin configuration (Standard NMEA 2000 layout for Power, Ground, Shield, CAN-High, and CAN-Low)
• Universal Compatibility: 100% universal fit for all Micro-C style NMEA 2000 cables and T-connectors (Garmin, Lowrance, Simrad, Raymarine, etc.)

• Waterproof Rating: IP67 compliant (dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion in water)
• Application Environment: Engineered specifically for harsh marine, salt-air, and high-vibration conditions

• Identify the Placement: Locate the tight bend or corner in your NMEA 2000 backbone or drop cable routing where the 90-degree turn is needed.
• Align the Connectors: Match the male or female end of the elbow connector with the corresponding female or male end of your existing NMEA 2000 cable or T-connector.
• Check the Keyways: Look inside the connectors to align the internal keyway (the small slot and tab). This ensures the pins line up correctly and prevents damage.
• Push and Thread: Push the connectors straight together gently. Do not force them.
• Hand-Tighten Only: Thread the metal locking collar onto the mating connector. Turn it clockwise until it is firmly hand-tight. Do not use tools like pliers, as over-tightening can crack the housing or destroy the waterproof O-ring seal.
• Secure the Cables: Use marine-grade cable ties to secure the adjacent cables to a bulkhead or support structure. This ensures that the weight of the cables does not pull on the elbow connector over time.
