Paul, I went ot their site but couldn't find anything, and I don't have the model but I didn't see anything specific to the type of network and I haven't worked on one of those.

If you go to Meratron's web site (see link) and click on one of the drawings, it will download their catalog. You can see there the type of cable used for NMEA 2K and compare to yours. For those interested in designing a 2K network, there is also a free Network Design software program (link at site) that can be used for that. It helps design the network properly and prevent you from overstepping length limits and make sure you include things that are needed like terminator resistors etc. Check it out.
