The MP2x8i NMEA Buffer isolates and buffers NMEA 0183 data or other RS422 signals.
It is able to distribute the NMEA signal from two Talkers up to eight Listeners. As the (power)
input and output ports are isolated the device ensures the protection of the Talkers and
Listeners. The MP2x8i features two operating modes; auto-switching mode and dual mode.
In auto-switching mode you are able to connect two independent Talkers and distribute the
signal to eight Listeners. In dual mode the buffer can be used as two independent buffers with
one input and four outputs.
