Actisense A2K-TDC-10M NMEA 2000 Micro Cable Assembly - 10 Feet

A2K-TDC-10M NMEA2000 Micro Cable Assembly - 10M

Available in various lengths, the cable assemblies can be used as either drop cable from a NMEA 2000 backbone or to extend the length of the backbone cable.

Actisense Lite cable assemblies allow quick installation and come with quality reassurance as only the Actisense UL-certified cable is used.

NMEA 2000 cable includes five wires within a single waterproof cable: power and ground wires, two signal (data) wires, and a drain wire. The drain wire connects to the cable shield, which protects the signal, power, and ground wires from external Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and helps reduce RFI emission from the cable.

NMEA 2000 Lite cable can be used to create a backbone up to 100 meters in length. If the backbone length required exceeds 100 meters, the center of the bus can be extended with an NMEA 2000 mini cable to keep the outer Lite sections to the 100-meter maximum.

The maximum length of a drop cable (distance from the backbone) is 6 meters. It is important to limit each drop length to the minimum required, as the total of all drop lengths must not exceed 72 meters.

The Actisense range of NMEA 2000 connectors and cables has been designed using our specialist interconnect and NMEA knowledge.

The Actisense A2K-TDC-10M NMEA 2000 Micro Cable Assembly offers a reliable solution for extending or creating a robust NMEA 2000 network on your boat or marine system. Designed with high-quality, UL-certified cable, this 10-foot assembly ensures quick and secure installation while maintaining optimal signal integrity. Its waterproof construction, featuring five internal wires—including power, ground, two data lines, and a drain wire—provides superior protection against external Radio Frequency Interference (RFI), ensuring clear and consistent data transmission in challenging marine environments. The drain wire connects to the cable shield, effectively reducing RFI emissions, which is crucial for maintaining data accuracy and minimizing electromagnetic interference in your system.
