Two termination resistors are required on every NMEA 2000 network one on each end of the trunk line. Normally a male termination is used since male pins tend to point back to the power source. In cases where the gender is reversed a female terminator may be required. The inline terminator is used where the network is terminated at a product for example a GPS or weather station at the top of a mast. .
