Actisense Self-Contained Boat Network A2K-SBN-2 for Up to 8 NMEA 2000 Devices

Self-Contained Boat Network - Complete Network f/8 Devices w/Internal Terminators Power Feed

Installing small NMEA 2000 networks is quicker and easier than its ever been with the Self-contained Boat Network (SBN) from Actisense.

The equivalent of eight T-pieces in a single case provides a significant time and space saving with no more connecting multiple T-pieces together. Termination resistors are built in which increases the saving on time and space.

Once the attached 3 meter cable is connected to the boats power supply, an NMEA 2000 network for up to eight devices is ready to use, taking plug play to the next level.

The Actisense A2K-SBN-2 is a comprehensive, self-contained NMEA 2000 network solution designed specifically for marine environments. This compact unit consolidates the functionality of eight T-pieces into a single rugged case, significantly simplifying installation and saving valuable space aboard your vessel. Its integrated termination resistors ensure reliable data transmission, reducing the need for additional components and minimizing potential points of failure. Once connected to a 3-meter power cable, the network is ready to support up to eight NMEA 2000 devices, enabling plug-and-play connectivity for marine electronics without complex wiring setups. The durable, flame-retardant over-molded housing, coupled with metal coupling nuts and an integrated EMI shield, ensures longevity and resistance to harsh marine conditions, including exposure to moisture and interference. The orange UL-rated power cable, with color-coded, stripped, and tinned wires, facilitates quick and error-free installation, with no special tools required. Designed to meet rigorous industry standards, the network supports currents up to 3A and voltages up to 60V AC/DC, with internal 120Ω termination resistors enhancing signal stability. Mechanical features include gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts, a robust M12 mating thread, and a rubber O-ring seal to prevent water ingress. The entire assembly is rated to operate reliably across a wide temperature range from -25°C to +70°C, making it suitable for the demanding conditions found at sea. Certified with IP67 protection when mated, this network offers a dependable, low-cost solution for marine electronics integration. Whether installing new systems or upgrading existing networks, the Actisense A2K-SBN-2 provides a straightforward, reliable, and long-lasting means to connect multiple NMEA 2000 devices efficiently.
