{"product_id":"actisense-a2k-ffc-rf-right-angle-n2k-female","title":"Actisense A2K-FFC-RF Right Angle Micro Field Fit Connector, Female","description":"\u003cp class=\"nvn-hero\"\u003eThe Actisense A2K-FFC-RF is the female, right-angle Micro field-fit connector for NMEA 2000 networks. Cut your Lite cable to length, strip it, and build a sealed connection right at the helm. The 90-degree body tucks cable in behind shallow dashes and tight bulkheads where a straight plug can't fit, and it locks up to an IP67 seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Actisense NMEA 2000 Right Angle Micro Field Fit Connector is the female end you reach for when a straight connector just won't fit. You cut your Micro backbone or drop cable to the exact length you need, strip the conductors, and build a watertight connection right there at the helm or down in the bilge. No pre-molded cable lengths. No coiling up three feet of excess behind the dash. Just the run you actually need, terminated the way you want it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eField Fit is Actisense's answer to the mess most NMEA 2000 installs turn into. Off-the-shelf cables come in fixed lengths, so you're always either short or swimming in slack. With this connector you buy bulk Lite cable, run it through the boat, cut it, and fit the connector on site. The internal gland tightens around the cable jacket as you screw the two halves together, so the seal forms as you assemble. Nothing loose, nothing that backs off with engine vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe right-angle body is the part installers love. Behind an instrument panel or up against the back of a flush-mounted display, a straight connector needs several inches of clearance to seat and to route the cable away. This one turns the cable 90 degrees at the connector itself, so you can tuck the run tight against a bulkhead or feed it straight down into a chase without a hard bend on the cable. On boats where dash depth is measured in inches, that's the difference between a clean job and a fight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the female connector. In a Micro network, also called Lite, the female end mates to the male pins on a tee, a device drop, or another cable end. Match it with the male Field Fit connector when you're building a cable with a plug on each end, or pair it with your tees and terminators to close out a backbone. It uses the standard M12 A-coded thread and keyway, so it lands on any compliant Micro connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA quick note on cable fit. The sealing gland is a PG9 size, made for cable in the 6 to 8 mm jacket range, which is exactly where NMEA 2000 Lite cable lands. The connector terminates 22 AWG conductors, the standard gauge for Lite cable. If you're running the thicker Mid backbone, that's a different connector, so check your cable before you order. Match the connector to the cable and the assembly goes together clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuild quality is where this part earns its keep. The contacts are gold-plated brass, which keeps contact resistance low and fights corrosion in the damp, salty air these networks live in. Rated for 4 amps at 60 volts DC, it carries the NMEA 2000 bus power and every device's data without breaking a sweat. The body is glass-filled nylon, the screw is stainless steel, and the O-ring is rubber. Locked up, it's rated IP67, so a hose-down or a wet bilge isn't going to get into it. It handles ambient temperatures from -25 to 90 degrees C, which covers everything from a winter layup up north to an engine room in July.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo who's this for? Anyone wiring or repairing a NMEA 2000 network who's tired of fixed cable lengths. Sailors running cable through tight bilge routes, powerboat owners fishing cable behind a packed dash, riggers building custom harnesses. A couple of things worth knowing from folks who fit these often. Strip the cable to the length Actisense specifies, because over-stripping is the fastest way to a short across the power pins. Don't overtighten the locking collar, especially on a hull that vibrates. Snug is enough. And get the keyway lined up before you seat the insert, and you'll avoid the intermittent dropouts that come from a misaligned pin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a small part that decides whether your whole network stays reliable. A field-fit connector done right gives you a clean, sealed, serviceable connection you can trust for years. Do it wrong and you're chasing ghosts every season. This is the connector, and the right-angle geometry, that makes doing it right the easy option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-angle Micro body turns cable 90 degrees at the connector, so it fits behind shallow dashes and tight bulkheads where a straight plug won't clear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eField-fit design assembles on cut-to-length cable, so you run the exact length you need with no coiled-up excess\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGold-plated brass contacts hold contact resistance at or below 5 milliohms and resist corrosion in salt air\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated 4A at 60V DC, with headroom for NMEA 2000 bus power and device data\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInternal gland seals as you tighten, holding watertight integrity against engine vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP67 rated in the locked position, safe for wet bilges and cockpit lockers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePG9 gland fits 6 to 8 mm cable and terminates 22 AWG conductors, matched to NMEA 2000 Lite cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard M12 A-coded thread and keyway mates with any compliant Micro tee, drop, or cable end\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGlass-filled nylon body and stainless steel screw hold up across a -25 to 90 degree C range\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFemale connector for building custom cable ends or closing out a backbone with your tees and terminators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Actisense reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eIs this the male or female connector?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis is the female connector.
