Actisense A2K-TDC-10M NMEA 2000 Micro Cable Assembly - 10 Meters for Marine Data Networks

The Actisense A2K-TDC-10M is a high-quality NMEA 2000 micro cable assembly designed for robust marine data communication. This 10-meter waterproof cable is ideal for extending or creating a backbone network within your vessel’s NMEA 2000 system. Its construction features five internal wires, including power, ground, two data lines, and a drain wire, all enclosed in a durable PVC jacket that ensures reliability in harsh marine environments. The drain wire connects to the cable shield, providing effective shielding against external Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and minimizing RFI emissions, which enhances signal integrity and reduces potential communication disruptions. This assembly is suitable for backbone networks up to 100 meters in length, with optional mini cables available for extensions beyond that limit, and drop connections limited to 6 meters to maintain optimal performance.

The Actisense cables use UL-certified components and are designed with precise interconnect technology, ensuring high-quality connections and durability. The male brass contacts are gold-plated for superior corrosion resistance, while the female components are made from phosphor bronze, also gold-plated, providing long-lasting contact reliability. The plastic housings and seal components, including rubber O-rings, are engineered to deliver IP67 protection when mated, making the cable suitable for demanding marine conditions. The cable features color-coded pairs, with power wires using 22 AWG and data lines with 24 AWG, optimized for efficient signal transmission. The rugged construction, combined with a black PVC outer jacket, makes this assembly suitable for a wide range of temperature extremes from -20°C to +70°C, with storage capabilities up to -40°C to +85°C.

Whether you are expanding an existing NMEA 2000 network or installing a new system, the Actisense A2K-TDC-10M offers reliable performance, quick installation, and peace of mind, backed by detailed technical specifications and quality assurance.
