Product Description
NMEA 2000 3-Way Tee Connector (Triple Tee)
The NMEA 2000 3-Way Tee Connector from Bluewater allows you to connect up to three NMEA 2000 devices at a single location in your marine network. This “Triple Tee” combines three drop ports into one compact molded housing, reducing clutter and eliminating the need to stack multiple individual tees behind a helm, in a junction box, or inside tight rigging spaces.
Each port uses the standard 5-pin Micro-C connector found on all certified NMEA 2000 equipment, ensuring full compatibility with Garmin, Simrad, Lowrance, Raymarine (via Micro-C), B&G, Humminbird (NMEA-enabled units), Yamaha Command Link, and many other systems. If you have several devices located close together—such as a chartplotter, heading sensor, and VHF radio—this Triple Tee offers a cleaner and more efficient way to organize your backbone and drop connections.
The connector features a durable, waterproof, marine-grade molded housing designed to withstand harsh onboard conditions including vibration, moisture, and salt exposure. While multi-port tees provide multiple drop locations in a compact footprint, a dedicated NMEA 2000 backbone cable is still the preferred method for extending the backbone itself.

NMEA 2000 3-Way Tee Connector (Triple Tee) provides a clean, durable, and convenient way to expand your network without stacking multiple tees or overcomplicating your wiring.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this connector compatible with Garmin, Simrad, Lowrance, and Raymarine?
Yes. This Triple Tee uses the standard 5-pin Micro-C connector used by all major NMEA 2000 equipment, including Garmin, Simrad, Lowrance, Raymarine (via Micro-C adapters), B&G, Humminbird (NMEA-equipped units), Yamaha Command Link, and many, many more.
How many devices can I connect with a 3-way Tee?
A 3-way Tee (Triple Tee) provides three device drops.
That means you can connect up to three NMEA 2000 devices—such as chartplotters, sensors, gauges, radios, or engine gateways—from this single connector.
Can I use this as a backbone extender?
Kind of. A Tee is designed to add device drops, not to extend the backbone more than about one inch. To lengthen the backbone to another location on the boat, you would normally use an NMEA 2000 backbone cable (although a drop cable can be used for short distances). However, multiple tees and short cables are sometimes used together in a tight area to act like a small backbone hub.
Does the Tee need to be installed in a specific orientation?
No special orientation is required. The Micro-C connectors are keyed and will only mate in the correct position. In many installs, the in-line male and female connectors form the backbone path, while the branch ports are used for the device drops.
Is this Tee waterproof?
Yes. It features a fully molded IP67-rated housing designed for harsh marine environments, including vibration, spray, and saltwater exposure.
Can I mix 1-way, 2-way, 3-way, and 4-way Tees on the same network?
Yes. Any combination of tees can be used as long as backbone length, drop length, and total device count remain within NMEA 2000 guidelines and the network is properly terminated at both ends.
