Actisense A2K-TDC-5M NMEA 2000 Micro Cable Assembly – 5 Meter Extension and Drop Cable

The Actisense A2K-TDC-5M NMEA 2000 Micro Cable Assembly provides a reliable solution for extending or connecting NMEA 2000 networks on boats and marine vessels. Designed for easy installation, this 5-meter waterproof cable features high-quality UL-certified materials ensuring durability and performance in harsh marine environments. Its compact design allows it to serve as both a drop cable from the backbone or as an extension to increase the overall network length, making it ideal for flexible marine data setups.
Constructed with five internal wires—power, ground, two data signals, and a drain wire—the cable effectively shields against external Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and minimizes RFI emissions, ensuring stable data transmission. The waterproof construction and IP67 rating provide protection against water ingress when mated, making it suitable for outdoor marine applications. The cable’s design supports backbone configurations up to 100 meters, with optional mini cables available for extending beyond this length while maintaining signal integrity.
The cable connectors feature brass, gold-plated male contacts and phosphor bronze, gold-plated female contacts, ensuring reliable electrical connections. The connectors are polarized for proper mating, with a black PVC housing and rubber O-ring seals for added protection against moisture. The cable’s jacket is made of durable black PVC, with an outer diameter of approximately 0.27 inches, providing flexibility and strength suitable for marine environments. Rated for currents up to 3A and voltages up to 60VDC, this cable is compliant with industry standards for marine data networks. Its lightweight construction, weighing approximately 13 ounces, further enhances ease of installation and handling.
Whether used for creating a new NMEA 2000 backbone or extending an existing network, the Actisense A2K-TDC-5M Micro Cable Assembly ensures reliable connectivity, durability, and ease of installation. For detailed installation instructions and technical specifications, refer to the manufacturer’s manual available online. This product is designed specifically for marine applications and should be used within specified temperature ranges from -20°C to +70°C for optimal performance.
