NMEA 2000 development backbone

I needed a simple way to connect different NMEA 2000 compliant CAN bus devices together for development and testing purposes and put together this simple hub or development backbone. To provide shielding to the cables, cable shields should be connected to GND at the connectors.

Questions

How big is the N2K dev backbone PCB?

It measures 99.5 × 45 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the N2K dev backbone use?

32 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the N2K dev backbone KiCad files?

From the hatlabs/N2K-dev-backbone repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is N2K-dev-backbone.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the N2K dev backbone design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask hatlabs before reusing the design.
