This 0.25-meter (approximately 10 inches) cable is ideal for creating secure connections between NMEA 2000 backbone components or extending existing backbone networks. Its compact size and waterproof construction make it suitable for demanding marine environments, ensuring durability and consistent performance. The cable features five internal wires, including power, ground, two data lines, and a drain wire, all shielded to guard against external Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). The drain wire connects to the cable shield, helping to minimize RFI emissions and protect signal integrity during data transmission. The assembly is manufactured with UL-certified cable, ensuring quality and safety standards are met. It is designed for quick installation, with robust M12 connectors that feature brass, gold-plated male contacts and phosphor bronze, gold-plated female contacts for secure, corrosion-resistant connections. The housing and screw caps are made of durable PVC and nickel-plated brass, respectively, providing protection against harsh marine conditions. The cable's rated current is 3 amps, and it operates at a maximum voltage of 60VDC, making it suitable for various marine electronic setups. Its IP67-rated protection when mated guarantees resistance to water and dust, while its operating temperature range from -20°C to +70°C ensures reliable performance across diverse environmental conditions. Whether building a new NMEA 2000 network or extending an existing one, the Actisense A2K-TDC-0M25 offers a dependable and straightforward solution for marine electronics systems.
