Actisense NMEA2000 Mid Bulk Cable Reel - 100M for Marine Data Networking

NMEA2000 Mid Bulk Cable Reel - 100M

This cable can be used to create or extend an NMEA 2000 network of flexible lengths to suit any installation. The cable is ideal for use with any of the Actisense A2K Product range for building networks.

The cable is LSZH certified to give installers and end users maximum peace of mind and an extra layer of safety.

The Actisense range of NMEA 2000 connectors and cables has been designed using our specialist interconnectivity and NMEA knowledge. All Actisense cables and connectors are NMEA 2000 approved.

The NMEA 2000 cable includes five wires within a single waterproof cable: power and ground wires, two signal 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 Mid cable can be used to create a backbone up to 250 meters in length, and offers a current capacity of 4A with Micro connectors, or 8A with Mini connectors.
