Designed for quick installation and reliable performance, this 3-meter cable allows you to extend your NMEA 2000 backbone or connect devices efficiently within your vessel's network. Crafted with UL-certified quality, the cable ensures durability and safety in demanding marine environments. Its waterproof design incorporates five internal wires—power, ground, two data signals, and a drain wire—protecting against external Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and minimizing signal emissions for clearer data transmission. The robust construction and high-quality materials make this cable suitable for creating backbone networks up to 100 meters in length, with optional extensions using mini cables when exceeding this range. The maximum drop cable length is 6 meters, and total drop lengths should be kept within 72 meters to maintain optimal system performance. The Actisense product line combines specialized interconnect technology with expert NMEA knowledge, delivering dependable connectivity for your marine electronics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt with precision, the connectors feature brass, gold-plated male contacts and phosphor bronze, gold-plated female contacts, ensuring excellent electrical contact and corrosion resistance. The black PVC housing with an IP67 rating provides protection against water ingress when mated, making it ideal for harsh marine conditions. The cable's internal wiring includes power and data pairs constructed from 22 and 24 AWG tinned copper, respectively, with additional drain and braid wires to support signal integrity. Its outer diameter of approximately 0.27 inches and weight of 0.8 pounds make it easy to handle and install in tight spaces. Operating temperature ranges from -20°C to +70°C, and storage is possible from -40°C to +85°C, ensuring versatility across various marine environments. Whether you're upgrading your vessel’s data network or establishing a new system, the Actisense A2K-TDC-3M cable provides the reliable, high-quality connection you need to keep your marine electronics operating smoothly and efficiently.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eRated Current: 3A for reliable power transmission\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eRated Voltage: 60VDC suitable for marine electrical systems\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMale Contact: Brass, gold plated for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFemale Contact: Phosphor bronze, gold plated for durability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eContact Carrier: PBT, black for strength and insulation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eContact Polarization: Standard M12-A- polarization for secure connections\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMating Thread: M12 threading ensures compatibility and ease of installation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eScrew Cap: Brass, nickel plated for corrosion protection\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eO-Ring Seal: Rubber, black for waterproof sealing\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHousing: PVC, black for outdoor durability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePower Pair: 22 AWG (19-strand tinned copper) for robust power delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eData Pair: 24 AWG (19-strand tinned copper) for high-quality data signals\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDrain Wire: 22 AWG (19-strand tinned copper) for shielding effectiveness\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBraid: 37 AWG (tinned copper) for additional shielding\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eJacket Material: 0.8mm PVC, black for weather resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eJacket Outer Diameter: Approximately 0.27 inches for easy routing\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eProtection: IP67 rated when mated for water ingress resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOperating Temperature: -20°C to +70°C for versatile use\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eStorage Temperature: -40°C to +85°C for extended storage options\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cstyle\u003etable.productattributes, .productattributes td { border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd; border-collapse: collapse; padding: 2px; text-align: left; }\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"productattributes\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbdoy\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eTruck Freight: No\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eOversized: No\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eOwners Manual Url: https:\/\/productimageserver.com\/literature\/ownersManual\/111812OM.pdf\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbdoy\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Actisense","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43786709074009,"sku":"111812","price":40.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/1818\/2489\/files\/111812XL.jpg?v=1784905580","url":"https:\/\/www.marinepartsonly.com\/products\/actisense-a2k-tdc-3m-nmea2000-micro-cable-assembly-3m-for-marine-data-networking","provider":"Marine Parts Only","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
