Actisense A2K-SBN-2 Self-Contained Boat Network for Up to 8 Devices with Internal Terminators and Power Feed

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 an innovative, self-contained NMEA 2000 network designed specifically for marine environments. This compact device consolidates the functionality of eight T-pieces into a single rugged housing, saving valuable space and reducing installation time. Its integrated termination resistors eliminate the need for additional components, streamlining the setup process and enhancing reliability. Once connected via the included 3-meter UL-rated power cable, the network is ready to operate, providing a plug-and-play solution suitable for a wide range of small NMEA 2000 networks on boats. The durable, flame-retardant over-molded housing and metal coupling nuts ensure a secure connection even in harsh conditions, while the integrated EMI shield minimizes interference for consistent data transmission. Designed to withstand wet and demanding marine environments, this network is certified IP67 when mated, ensuring protection against water ingress and dust. The device's color-coded, tinned wires simplify installation, and the use of UL-rated cable guarantees safety and peace of mind. The system supports a maximum current of 3A and operates reliably within a temperature range from -25°C to +70°C, making it suitable for various maritime conditions. The internal components, including phosphor bronze, gold-plated contacts and a copper foil shield, contribute to long-lasting, corrosion-resistant connections. Its compact size and straightforward installation process make it an ideal choice for integrating multiple NMEA 2000 devices efficiently, reducing the need for extra components and minimizing potential points of failure. This product is perfect for boat owners seeking a reliable, cost-effective, and easy-to-install network solution that ensures seamless communication among onboard devices.
