hi youtubers hi  jeff cote here with pacific yacht  systems we've got a question  from damian damian's got a really good  question about me2000 and what to do  with spare ports  so he asked i've got a four port enemy  a2000 backbone  only three ports are used and there's  both a female and a male resistor at  either end of the backbone  will the system communicate with one  open port  absolutely yeah so you can actually have  drops that are not connected and we do  this all the time  we're going to be running cables from  the engine room up  to maybe the lower helm up to the upper  helm on a power boat  throughout a sailboat and we're going to  have potentially as we go from  one end of the boat to the other in the  boat we're actually going to be putting  in  uh drops for the eventuality of putting  in  maybe a sensor like a bilge detector or  a smoke detector or it could be  engine monitoring so you don't actually  have to have  a load or a drop cable on every single  one of the potential termination points  of your enemy 2000 backbone what you  probably want to do is put an end cap  and i've done that on my boat there's  little end caps that you can put so the  five wires that are exposed are not in  the air  and it just makes it clean and you know  that you're not going to have you're  limiting the chance of correction  corrosion or accidental shortening of  that but yeah there's actually no issues  with having a spare port  on an enemy 2000 backbone thanks for  watching this video  if you've got further questions that we  didn't answer please ask them below or  go on our website  and fill up one of the forms and we'll  get a chance to do so  support us to keep this channel ad free  by  donating via paypal or buying one of  these lovely hats the links are below  and lastly if you haven't subscribed to  our channel please do so that way you'll  get the regular contents  and in closing thanks for watching
