A2K-TDC-2M NMEA2000 Micro Cable Assembly - 2M
Available in various lengths, the cable assemblies can be used as either a drop cable from a NMEA 2000 backbone or to extend the length of the backbone cable.
Actisense Lite cable assemblies allow quick installation and come with quality reassurance as only the Actisense UL-certified cable is used.
NMEA 2000 cable includes five wires within a single waterproof cable: power and ground wires, two signal (data) wires, and a drain wire. The drain wire connects to the cable shield, which protects the signal, power, and ground wires from external Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and helps reduce RFI emission from the cable.
NMEA 2000 Lite cable can be used to create a backbone up to 100 meters in length. If the backbone length required exceeds 100 meters, the center of the bus can be extended with an NMEA 2000 mini cable to keep the outer Lite sections to the 100-meter maximum.
The maximum length of a drop cable (distance from the backbone) is 6 meters. It is important to limit each drop length to the minimum required, as the total of all drop lengths must not exceed 72 meters.
The Actisense range of NMEA 2000 connectors and cables has been designed using our specialist interconnect and NMEA knowledge.
Technical Specifications:
The Actisense A2K-TDC-2M NMEA 2000 Micro Cable Assembly offers a reliable solution for extending or creating NMEA 2000 networks on boats and marine vessels. Designed with quality and ease of installation in mind, this 2-meter waterproof cable features a five-wire configuration, including power, ground, two data lines, and a drain wire, all encased within a durable PVC jacket. The drain wire connects to the cable shield, providing effective RFI shielding to protect signal integrity and reduce electromagnetic interference from external sources.
Built using UL-certified components, the Actisense Lite cable assemblies ensure safety and compliance with industry standards. This cable supports backbone network lengths up to 100 meters when combined with mini cables, making it suitable for extensive marine data systems. The maximum drop cable length from the backbone is 6 meters, with the total drop lengths across the network not exceeding 72 meters, allowing flexible configurations while maintaining optimal performance. The connectors are designed with M12 polarization, brass, and gold-plated contacts for superior conductivity and corrosion resistance, and are sealed with rubber O-rings for IP67 water resistance when mated.
Technical specifications include a rated current of 3A and a rated voltage of 60VDC. The cable features high-quality materials such as tinned copper conductors in various gauges for power and data, with a black PVC outer jacket measuring approximately 0.27 inches in diameter. The housing and connectors are engineered for durability, with nickel-plated brass screw caps and black PBT contact carriers. Operating in temperatures from -20°C to +70°C and stored within -40°C to +85°C, this cable is designed to withstand harsh marine environments. The overall weight is approximately 5.9 ounces, making it easy to handle and install in tight spaces.
For installation guidance and detailed specifications, refer to the manufacturer’s manual available online. This cable assembly is an essential component for marine electronics enthusiasts seeking a dependable, UL-certified solution for NMEA 2000 networking needs.
