Actisense A2K-TDC-6M NMEA 2000 Micro Cable Assembly – 6 Feet

The Actisense A2K-TDC-6M NMEA 2000 Micro Cable Assembly provides a reliable and easy-to-install solution for extending or creating a backbone network in marine electronic systems. With a length of approximately 6 feet, this waterproof cable is designed for seamless integration within NMEA 2000 networks, ensuring optimal signal integrity and durability. Its design includes five internal wires—power, ground, two data signals, and a drain wire—encased in a single waterproof jacket that protects against external Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and electromagnetic noise, making it suitable for demanding marine environments. The high-quality, UL-certified Actisense cable ensures safety and performance, allowing for quick installation without compromising reliability. This cable is ideal for use as a drop cable or backbone extension, with the capability to support backbone lengths up to 100 meters when combined with appropriate mini cables. The maximum drop length of 6 meters helps maintain network integrity and minimizes signal loss, with all drop cables collectively limited to 72 meters. The rugged connectors feature brass, gold-plated male contacts, phosphor bronze, gold-plated female contacts, and a durable black PVC housing, providing excellent corrosion resistance and a secure connection. The connectors include a rubber O-ring seal for IP67 protection when mated, ensuring the system remains waterproof and dustproof in marine conditions. The cable’s construction incorporates tinned copper conductors with specified AWG sizes for power, data, drain, and braid shielding, contributing to stable signal transmission. Designed for a wide operating temperature range from -20°C to +70°C and storage between -40°C to +85°C, this assembly is built to withstand harsh environments. The overall weight is approximately 15 ounces, making it manageable for installation in various marine applications. For detailed installation guidance, refer to the official manual available online. The Actisense A2K-TDC-6M Micro Cable Assembly ensures a robust connection in your NMEA 2000 network, combining quality, durability, and ease of use for marine electronic systems.
