This 5-meter waterproof cable features five internal wires—power, ground, two data lines, and a drain wire—encased in a durable PVC jacket with an outer diameter of approximately 0.27 inches. The drain wire connects to the cable shield, providing superior protection against external Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and minimizing RFI emissions, ensuring clear signal transmission in demanding marine environments. Ideal for creating a backbone network up to 100 meters, the cable can be extended with mini cables if longer backbone segments are needed, while each drop cable from the backbone should not exceed 6 meters to maintain optimal network performance. The assembly supports a maximum current of 3A and operates at a voltage of up to 60VDC, making it suitable for various marine electronics applications. The male connectors are brass, gold-plated for corrosion resistance, while the female connectors are phosphor bronze, also gold-plated, with a robust black PBT contact carrier and a black PVC housing. Features include standard M12-A polarization, a screw cap with nickel plating for secure connections, and rubber O-rings for sealing. The cable's power conductors are 22 AWG, data pairs are 24 AWG, and the drain and braid conductors are 22 and 37 AWG respectively, ensuring excellent electrical characteristics. With an operating temperature range from -20°C to +70°C, and storage capabilities up to -40°C to +85°C, the Actisense TDC-5M is built for versatility and durability. This cable assembly is essential for marine data networking, offering quick installation, high-quality materials, and compatibility with NMEA 2000 standards for seamless integration in marine electronic systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eRated Current: 3A for reliable power transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eRated Voltage: 60VDC suitable for marine electronics\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMale Contact: Brass, gold plated for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFemale Contact: Phosphor bronze, gold plated for durability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eContact Carrier: Black PBT housing for ruggedness\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eContact Polarization: Standard M12-A for compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMating Thread: M12 thread for secure connections\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eScrew Cap: Brass, nickel plated for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eO-Ring Seal: Rubber, black for waterproof sealing\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHousing: Durable black PVC construction\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePower Pair: 22 AWG, 19-strand tinned copper for power\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eData Pair: 24 AWG, 19-strand tinned copper for signals\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDrain: 22 AWG, tinned copper for RFI grounding\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBraid: 37 AWG tinned copper for shield integrity\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eJacket Material: 0.8mm PVC with black outer coating\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOuter Diameter: Approximately 0.27 inches for easy installation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eProtection: IP67-rated when mated for water resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOperating Temperature: -20°C to +70°C for marine conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eStorage Temperature: -40°C to +85°C for long-term durability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Actisense","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44441338576938,"sku":"111810","price":49.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/2285\/8794\/files\/111810XL.jpg?v=1780939798","url":"https:\/\/atticusgoods.com\/products\/actisense-a2k-tdc-5m-nmea-2000-micro-cable-assembly-5-meters-for-marine-data-networking","provider":"Atticus Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
