Actisense A2K-TDC-2M NMEA 2000 Micro Cable Assembly - 2M - A2K-TDC-2M

Actisense A2K-TDC-2M NMEA 2000 Micro Cable Assembly - 2M

The Actisense A2K-TDC-2M is a high-quality NMEA 2000 micro cable assembly designed for marine electronics and data networking applications. With a length of 2 meters, this waterproof cable is ideal for creating reliable connections within your marine NMEA 2000 network, whether as a drop cable or to extend the backbone. Its construction includes five internal wires—power, ground, two data signals, and a drain wire—encased in a durable, black PVC jacket that provides IP67 protection when mated, ensuring resistance to water and dust in harsh environments. The cable's shielded design minimizes external Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and reduces emissions, maintaining signal integrity across your network. Suitable for backbone lengths up to 100 meters, the cable can be combined with mini cables to extend beyond this limit, offering flexible installation options. The maximum drop cable length from the backbone is 6 meters, with a total of all drop lengths not exceeding 72 meters, facilitating efficient and organized wiring in complex systems. The Actisense Lite cable assemblies are certified by UL, guaranteeing safety and quality, and feature high-grade brass, gold-plated male contacts, and phosphor bronze, gold-plated female contacts to ensure excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. The connectors incorporate a rubber O-ring seal for waterproofing and a black PVC housing for durability. The cable supports rated currents up to 3A and voltages up to 60VDC, making it suitable for power and data transmission in marine environments. The cable's power conductors are 22 AWG, while data and drain conductors are 24 and 22 AWG respectively, all with tinned copper strands for flexibility and corrosion resistance. Operating temperatures range from -20°C to +70°C, and storage temperatures from -40°C to +85°C, ensuring reliable performance across diverse conditions. This compact, lightweight assembly, weighing approximately 5.9 ounces, is designed for easy installation and long-term durability, providing a dependable connection for your NMEA 2000 networking needs in marine or industrial settings.
