About Deckbus: Marine Backbone

Deckbus is an offline marine instrument-backbone planner for refits, owner-builders, installers, educators, and technicians who want the network drawn before cable enters a chase.

Place displays, sensors, controls, gateways, and the power tap along a linear backbone. Record individual drops, load-equivalent values, current, and notes; then screen termination count, backbone and drop limits, node placement, aggregate load, and conservative node voltage from the entered cable resistance and power location.

KEY FEATURES
- Linear backbone topology chart
- Device, position, drop, load, and current roster
- Two-terminator topology check
- Individual and aggregate drop-length screens
- Backbone-length and load-equivalent screens
- Editable power injection and cable-resistance model
- Conservative per-node voltage estimate
- Local installation PDF brief
- 300 original offline technical plates
- No account, ads, analytics, tracking, IAP, or subscription

Deckbus models a generic low-voltage marine instrument backbone. Confirm the current standard, certified components, connector families, device manuals, LEN values, cable ratings, protection, grounding, topology, and installation with a qualified marine electronics professional.
