Actisense A2K-BULK-100MID NMEA 2000 Mid Bulk Cable Reel 100m

The Actisense A2K-BULK-100MID is a 100-metre reel of NMEA 2000 Mid-grade backbone cable, purpose-built for creating or extending NMEA 2000 networks in marine electronics installations. Engineered with Actisense's specialist interconnect and NMEA expertise, this Mid cable supports backbone runs of up to 250 metres, making it well-suited for larger or more complex vessel installations.

The cable features a five-wire waterproof construction — power, ground, two signal (data) wires, and a drain wire — all within a single shielded jacket. The drain wire connects to an AL Mylar tape shield that protects against external Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and helps minimize RFI emissions from the cable itself, ensuring clean and reliable data transmission.

Key Features:

• 100-metre reel of NMEA 2000 Mid bulk backbone cable

The A2K-BULK-100MID is an ideal solution for installers building or expanding a robust NMEA 2000 backbone. Maximum drop cable length from the backbone is 6 metres, and total drop lengths must not exceed 72 metres. Actisense drop cable assemblies are available separately in lengths from 0.25 to 6 metres to help manage this requirement.
