Product Description
NMEA 2000 4-Way Tee Connector (Quad Tee)
The NMEA 2000 4-Way Tee Connector from Bluewater provides four device drop ports in a single molded housing—perfect for helm stations, dash clusters, or any installation where several NMEA 2000 devices need to connect in one place. This “Quad Tee” replaces four individual tees, reducing clutter and streamlining cable management in tight spaces.
All ports use the industry-standard 5-pin Micro-C connector, ensuring seamless compatibility with Garmin, Simrad, Lowrance, Raymarine (via Micro-C), B&G, Humminbird (NMEA-enabled units), Yamaha Command Link, and every other NMEA 2000-certified system. If you’re installing multiple MFDs, sensors, radios, or engine gateways in a single area, this Quad Tee provides the cleanest and most efficient wiring layout.
The robust, molded housing is fully waterproof and corrosion-resistant, built to withstand vibration, spray, and saltwater in harsh marine environments. While multi-port tees provide a compact way to add many devices, dedicated NMEA 2000 backbone cables remain the correct method for extending backbone length between areas of the boat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this connector compatible with Garmin, Simrad, Lowrance, and Raymarine?
Yes. This Quad 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 4-way Tee?
A 4-way Tee (Quad Tee) provides four device drops. That means you can connect up to four NMEA 2000 devices—such as MFDs, sensors, radios, engine gateways, autopilot components, and more—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 most installations, the in-line male and female connectors form the backbone, and the drop ports branch downward.
Is this Tee waterproof?
Yes. It features a fully molded, IP67-rated waterproof housing designed for harsh marine environments, including vibration, moisture, and saltwater exposure.
Can I mix 1-way, 2-way, 3-way, and 4-way Tees on the same network?
Yes. All tee types can be combined as needed. Just ensure your backbone length, drop lengths, and total device count follow standard NMEA 2000 guidelines, and that both ends of the backbone are properly terminated.
