It swaps the unit's input and output wiring over to spring-clamp connectors, so you can land your NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 conductors without fighting tiny terminal screws at the back of a cramped nav panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've wired an Actisense PRO-NDC-1E or PRO-NDC-1E2K into a boat, you already know the connections are the fussy part. This pluggable connector pack is the fix. It gives you screwless, spring-clamp connectors for the unit's inputs and outputs, so landing a wire is a matter of stripping it clean and pushing it home. No jeweler's screwdriver, no dropped screws behind the panel, no cramped wrist angles at the back of the helm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's what it actually is. The PRO-NDC-1E and PRO-NDC-1E2K are Actisense NMEA data converters and multiplexers, the boxes that pull your NMEA 0183 talkers, your NMEA 2000 backbone, and on the 1E2K high-speed ethernet, together into one tidy hub. Out of the box those units ship with screw-style connectors. This pack is the screwless alternative, a set of 2-part pluggable connectors that clip onto the same ports. The two-part design is the clever bit. The wiring side stays put in the harness and the unit side unplugs, so you can pull the converter off its mount for service without re-terminating a single wire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho needs one? A few folks. If you're doing a fresh install and you'd rather work with push-fit connectors than screw terminals, order this alongside the unit. If you've got an existing PRO-NDC-1E on the boat and you're tired of chasing loose screw terminals, this is a clean upgrade. And if you do field service on other people's rigs, keeping a pack in the kit means you can re-land a damaged connector in a couple of minutes instead of rebuilding a whole terminal block at the dock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA word on the install itself, because the marine environment is unforgiving. Strip your conductors clean and to the right length before you push them in, because a spring clamp grabs best on a tidy, fully-seated strand. Once your wires are landed, give each connector a gentle tug to confirm it's holding, then support the harness with a cable clamp or tie anchor within a couple of inches of the unit. That takes the working load off the connector on a boat that pounds through a chop. On a planing hull especially, vibration is the enemy of any connection, so a bit of strain relief close to the device pays off over a full season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower down the converter before you swap or re-land anything. Working live on a NMEA 2000 network can throw bus errors, and there's no reason to risk it when the whole job takes about five minutes with the power off. Once everything's back together the unit comes straight back up. There's no firmware change and no configuration to redo, because the connectors are passive hardware and the converter doesn't know or care which style you used. It works the same on 12-volt and 24-volt systems, since the connector isn't doing anything electrical beyond making a solid mechanical joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt drops in naturally with the rest of an Actisense NMEA 2000 build, sitting alongside standard micro-C backbone cable and Actisense terminators with no adapters in between. One thing to be clear about. This pack is specific to the PRO-NDC-1E and PRO-NDC-1E2K. It's not a universal connector kit, so if you're wiring a different Actisense gateway or NGT interface, check that model's own accessory list instead of assuming this one drops in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a small, inexpensive part. But it's the kind of thing that turns a frustrating afternoon behind the dash into a quick, clean job, and it's a genuine Actisense component, so the fit is exactly right the first time. Keep a spare in the parts box too, because connector tabs do wear if you re-seat them enough times over the life of an install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrewless spring-clamp connectors for tool-light input and output wiring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePurpose-built for the Actisense PRO-NDC-1E and PRO-NDC-1E2K, so fitment is exact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-part pluggable design lets you unplug the unit for service without re-terminating wires\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.04 kg (0.09 lb), adds no meaningful load behind the panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGenuine Actisense part, a clean spare or upgrade for existing PRO-NDC-1E installs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKeeps NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 device wiring organized right at the converter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePassive hardware, no firmware change or reconfiguration after fitting\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\u003eWhat does this connector pack do?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt replaces the screw-style connectors on an Actisense PRO-NDC-1E or PRO-NDC-1E2K with screwless, spring-clamp connectors.
