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

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 NMEA2000 Micro Cable Assembly provides a reliable and efficient connection solution for marine data networks. Designed for use as a drop cable from a NMEA 2000 backbone or to extend existing backbone runs, this 1-meter cable ensures seamless integration within your vessel's communication system. Crafted with high-quality, UL-certified materials, it guarantees durability and safety in demanding marine environments. The waterproof design, featuring five insulated wires enclosed within a single cable, protects signal, power, and ground connections from external radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring optimal data integrity and minimal signal loss. Its construction supports a maximum backbone length of up to 100 meters when combined with NMEA 2000 mini cables, making it suitable for extensive network configurations. The cable's maximum drop length is 6 meters, with a total maximum drop network length of 72 meters, facilitating flexible installation options for various vessel sizes and layouts. The Actisense Lite series, including this model, is engineered with specialized interconnect knowledge, providing precise compatibility with NMEA 2000 standards and connectors. The cable features a brass, gold-plated male contact and a phosphor bronze, gold-plated female contact, both housed in robust PVC connectors with rubber O-ring seals for IP67 protection when mated. The cable's jacket is made from durable black PVC, with a 6.85mm outer diameter, offering resistance to harsh marine conditions. Internal wiring includes power and data pairs, with specifications supporting 3A current at 60VDC. This product also meets operational temperature requirements from -20°C to +70°C and storage conditions from -40°C to +85°C, ensuring consistent performance across diverse environments. The assembly's thoughtful design and high-grade components make it an essential accessory for marine network installations, providing reliable connectivity for navigation, sensor, and communication systems.
