Actisense A2K-TDC-1M NMEA 2000 Micro Cable Assembly - 1 Meter for Marine Data Networking

A2K-TDC-1M NMEA2000 Micro Cable Assembly - 1M

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-1M NMEA 2000 Micro Cable Assembly offers a reliable and efficient connection solution for marine electronic systems. Designed to extend or branch your NMEA 2000 network, this 1-meter waterproof cable is ideal for creating flexible and durable data links in demanding marine environments. It features five internal wires—power, ground, two data signals, and a drain wire—shielded within a robust PVC outer jacket to protect against external Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). The drain wire connects to the cable shield, reducing RFI emissions and safeguarding signal integrity, which is essential for maintaining accurate data transmission on your vessel. The cable’s IP67 rating when mated ensures protection against dust and water ingress, making it suitable for harsh marine conditions. With a maximum backbone length of up to 100 meters and a drop length limit of 6 meters, this assembly provides flexibility for various network configurations, ensuring optimal performance and compliance with industry standards. The Actisense cable uses UL-certified materials, guaranteeing quality and safety. Its connectors feature brass, gold-plated male contacts and phosphor bronze, gold-plated female contacts, ensuring reliable electrical connections. Designed for ease of installation, the cable’s black PVC housing and black rubber O-ring seals provide secure, corrosion-resistant connections. Whether used to extend your NMEA 2000 backbone or connect peripheral devices, this cable assembly is a vital component for marine navigation and communication systems.
