Wiring Nexus network

Mike36 · #1 (**permalink**) 11-05-2010

I'm rewiring my Nexus Network instruments, and can't find a place to buy the 26 gauge bullet terminals. Nexus appears to call them "wire protectors." Trying to wire the instruments, transducers, and server together without the terminals/protectors is a mess.

Anyone know Where I can get some, or another way to make the tiny wires manageable?

you might try digi key...they have several, and sell in Qty that the DIYer can afford...if you don't see it in the catalog, call them..

I got them at RadioShack for my Nexus instruments.

Check out Allied Electronics also. They are called ferrules.

djodenda- I am happy with them, there was one multi-display inside on the boat when we bought it and I added a digital wind and a multi in the cockpit. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that they built the new instruments to be compatible with the old system (2001) I have. They work well and they have good phone support. I shopped around on the internet and found that the prices vary quite a bit so do enough research to make sure you're getting the best price.
