Marine electrical interface
The electrical interface for the MRU Marine and MRU Marine S provides a complete overview of the connectivity options available for these models. It includes male/female connector views and descriptions of the different connector configurations.
MRU Marine
The MRU Marine models are connected to the junction box with a Norwegian Subsea marine cable plugged to a 16 pins marine connector. It comes in a single configuration: a standard 16-pin connector, available in both male and female versions. Note that the male and female versions have identical internal pinout arrangement.

MRU Marine S
The MRU Marine S is connected to a system with the shallow water cable plugged to a SubConn connector. Because the 8-pin SubConn connector does not provide sufficient pins to accommodate power, Ethernet, RS-232, and RS-485 simultaneously, five different power and communication configurations are supported.
