+==== Cable ====
+Cable sold for NMEA 2000 is very expensive. Cable sold for DeviceNet is less expensive but still a lot. Normal ethernet (Cat 5 etc.) cable would probably work. It is 100 Ohm nom., and NMEA 2000 is meant to be 120 Ohm, but it's probably close enough, particularly for short networks as expected on a boat. Calculated SWR of 100 to 120 ohm connection is 1.2 / ~21dB return loss.
+Possibly suitable:
+  * BELDEN 3084A
+  * LAPP KABEL 2170343 - Multipair Cable, Per M, DeviceNet Field Bus, Data Pair 24 AWG+ Power Pair 22 AWG, Screened, 2 Pair
+  * MOLEX / FLAMAR 155421-5001 - Networking Cable, Flamar® Profinet Type C, Screened, Cat5e, 22 AWG, 0.34 mm², 328 ft, 100 m
