Actisense A2K-TDC-0M5 NMEA 2000 Micro Cable Assembly - 0.5M

The Actisense A2K-TDC-0M5 is a high-quality NMEA 2000 micro cable assembly designed for reliable marine data networking. This 0.5-meter waterproof cable serves as a drop cable from a NMEA 2000 backbone or to extend existing backbone connections, offering flexible installation options for marine electronics systems. Crafted with UL-certified, durable materials, it ensures both safety and longevity in harsh marine environments. The cable contains five internal wires—power, ground, two data signals, and a drain wire—encased in a robust waterproof jacket that shields against external Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). The drain wire connects to the cable shield, reducing RFI emissions and protecting signal integrity for optimal data transmission. Its construction supports backbone lengths up to 100 meters when combined with appropriate mini cables, while the maximum drop length from the backbone is limited to 6 meters, ensuring compliance with system specifications. The Actisense Lite cable range is engineered using specialized interconnect and NMEA knowledge, guaranteeing compatibility and ease of installation. This assembly features a brass, gold-plated male contact, a phosphor bronze, gold-plated female contact, and a PBT black contact carrier, all housed within a PVC black shell. The connectors incorporate an M12 polarization and threaded design for secure connections, with an IP67 rating when mated for water resistance. The cable’s power conductors are 22 AWG, and data conductors are 24 AWG, all protected with black rubber O-rings and a PVC outer jacket measuring approximately 0.27 inches in diameter. Weighing about 2.4 ounces, this cable is suitable for temperature ranges from -20°C to +70°C, with storage capabilities up to -40°C to +85°C. Suitable for demanding marine environments, the Actisense A2K-TDC-0M5 ensures dependable data connectivity for your NMEA 2000 network, backed by detailed installation guidance available through the manufacturer’s manual.
