Actisense A2K-TDC-8M NMEA 2000 Micro Cable Assembly - 8 Meters for Marine Data Networking

The Actisense A2K-TDC-8M NMEA 2000 Micro Cable Assembly provides a reliable solution for extending or creating a backbone network in marine electronics systems. Designed with quality assurance, this UL-certified cable features five internal wires within a waterproof jacket, including power, ground, two data lines, and a drain wire to ensure signal integrity and minimize radio frequency interference (RFI). Its construction allows for quick installation and robust performance in marine environments. The cable supports backbone configurations up to 100 meters in length, with the possibility to extend beyond using mini cables, while drop connections are limited to 6 meters each to maintain network stability. Its durable materials, including brass and phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating, combined with IP67 protection when mated, make it suitable for harsh conditions. The cable's PVC outer jacket and black color contribute to its durability and ease of integration into existing systems. Rated for 3A current and 60VDC, this assembly meets industry standards for marine data communication. The male and female connectors feature M12 threading and standard polarization, ensuring secure and correct connections. The cable’s detailed technical specifications include high-quality tinned copper conductors, rubber O-ring seals, and a rugged PVC housing, making it a dependable choice for marine electronic installations. Whether used as a drop cable or to extend backbone segments, the Actisense A2K-TDC-8M Micro Cable Assembly delivers consistent performance and ease of use, backed by comprehensive technical support and documentation available online.
