Actisense NMEA Micro Drop Cable Assembly

The Actisense NMEA 2000 Micro Cable Assembly is a drop cable and backbone extension cable for NMEA 2000 marine electronics networks. It connects devices such as chartplotters, instruments, sensors and gateways to an existing backbone, or it extends the backbone itself. Each assembly has a male Micro-C (M12) connector on one end and a female on the other. It is offered in a range of lengths.

Key Features:

• Dual-purpose use: works as a drop cable from the backbone or as a backbone extension.
• UL-certified Actisense Lite cable: built for quick installation and consistent quality.
• NMEA 2000 certified: compatible with other NMEA 2000 connectors and devices, and follows the DeviceNet standard.
• Shielded multi-conductor construction: carries power and data on tinned copper conductors, with a drain wire to help reduce RFI.
• Gold-plated contacts: brass male and phosphor bronze female contacts resist corrosion and keep the connection reliable.
• Waterproof connection: M12 threaded connectors with an O-ring seal are rated IP67 when mated.
• Polarized M12 design: helps prevent misconnection.
• Electrical ratings: 3 A and 60 VDC.
• Temperature range: operates from -20°C to +70°C.

Network Guidelines: A single drop cable can be up to 6 meters long. Total drop length across the network must not exceed 72 meters. Keep each drop as short as the installation allows.

Actisense designed its NMEA 2000 cables and connectors using its interconnect and NMEA experience. This makes the assembly a dependable choice for new installations, repairs and network expansions on boats.
