Actisense A2K-TDC-8M - NMEA 2000® Cable Assembly 8m

Actisense A2K-TDC-8M - NMEA 2000® Cable Assembly 8m Product Description

Actisense Lite cable assemblies are UL certified and allow quick installations with quality reassurance.

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 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.
