SKU: CW59427
MPN: USG-2
The Actisense USG-2 Isolated USB to Serial Gateway bridges modern computing with legacy marine electronics, solving a critical compatibility gap for anglers and boaters who rely on NMEA0183, RS422, and RS232 instruments. Whether you're integrating a GPS chartplotter, fish finder, autopilot, or wind instrument into a new navigation system, this gateway eliminates the guesswork of connecting older serial devices to laptops or tablets via USB. It's engineered for the working boat owner who demands reliability in harsh saltwater and freshwater environments where connection failures cost time and safety.
The USG-2 features electrical isolation that protects your marine electronics from ground loops and surge damage—a critical safeguard when multiple systems share a common power supply aboard your vessel. Its compact 6 x 2 x 7 inch footprint fits easily in a cabin console or electronics bay without consuming valuable real estate. The gateway supports simultaneous NMEA0183 and RS422/RS232 protocols, allowing you to daisy-chain multiple instruments through a single USB connection to navigation software like Nobeltec, MaxSea, or OpenCPN. Isolation eliminates the noise and data corruption that plague unshielded serial connections in electrically noisy marine environments.
This device is essential for retrofit installations where legacy instruments must communicate with modern marine software, or when upgrading from standalone systems to integrated digital solutions. Fishing guides, charter operators, and serious cruisers benefit most from the USG-2, as it enables real-time data streaming from depth sounders, water temperature sensors, and heading indicators directly into digital charts and fish-finding apps. Installation requires only a USB port and appropriate serial cables; no external power or complex drivers are needed. Compatibility spans Windows, macOS, and Linux systems, making it adaptable to virtually any vessel's computing setup.
