Hi, I do have the same setup onboard. Everything works perfectly on the standard NMEA-2000 interface, just the drop cable and the T-junction will suffice to add the Camino-108S to the same NMEA-2000 backbone.

I installed the Camino 108S The one with the integrated the antenna-splitter
It works fine with a Raymarine e7 plotter using the NMEA2000 Backbone. Only needed a special cable to the plotter as the Raymarine version of NMEA appears to have crossed some wires and is called something else.
The cable is available in the SVB web shop. But should not be needed for your B&G plotter.
The box contained a thin piece of antenna cable, intended for connecting the AIS to the VHS. I ended up installing the 108S where the existing antenna cable to the mast head antenna can be separated when removing the mast. (Sailboat). That way I assume I cause the least damage to the radio performance.
The GPS antenna appears to work fine installed just below the GRP deck.
Otherwise you will need a fuse, a switch, a well sized power cable and a NMEA2000 Tee. That is assuming you already have a NMEA2000 Backbone connected to the plotter.
A PC will be needed for setting up the AIS. A USB cable is included
