connector is a five pin male connector (see

network using a Maretron NMEA 2000 ® cable (or compatible cable) by connecting the female end of the cable to the DSM250 (note the key on the male connector and keyway on the female connector). Be sure the cable is connected securely and that the collar on the cable connector is tightened firmly. Connect the other end of the cable (male) to the NMEA 2000 ® network in the same manner. The DSM250 is designed such that you can plug or unplug it from an NMEA 2000 ® network while the power to the network is connected or disconnected. Please follow recommended practices for installing NMEA 2000 ® network products.
