A2K-TDC-6M NMEA2000 Micro Cable Assembly - 6M
Available in various lengths, the cable assemblies can be used as either 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-6M NMEA 2000 Micro Cable Assembly provides a reliable solution for marine electronic connectivity in a compact form. Designed with high-quality UL-certified cable, this 6-foot long assembly ensures secure connections within NMEA 2000 networks, supporting seamless data and power transfer. Its waterproof construction and five internal wires—including power, ground, two data signals, and a drain—protect against external Radio Frequency Interference (RFI), maintaining signal integrity even in challenging environments. The cable’s design allows for flexible installation, whether used as a drop cable from a backbone or to extend existing backbone networks up to 100 meters in length, with optional mini cables to extend beyond that limit. The maximum drop length of 6 feet helps ensure optimal performance by minimizing signal loss and maintaining network stability, with cumulative drop lengths not exceeding 72 meters for an entire network setup. The robust construction features brass, gold-plated male contacts and phosphor bronze female contacts, providing durable, corrosion-resistant connections. The black PVC housing and rubber O-ring seal ensure IP67-level protection when mated, safeguarding against water ingress during marine use. Rated for currents up to 3A and voltages up to 60VDC, this assembly is suitable for various marine electronic applications. The cable includes power, data, and drain conductors made from stranded tinned copper wire, enclosed within a durable jacket that measures approximately 0.27 inches in outer diameter and weighs around 15 ounces. Designed with standard M12 polarity and threading, it features nickel-plated brass screw caps and a black housing, making installation straightforward and reliable. Operating within temperatures from -20°C to +70°C (-4°F to +158°F) and capable of storage from -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F), the Actisense A2K-TDC-6M ensures dependable performance in diverse marine environments.
