Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum length for a NMEA 2000 backbone using Actisense Lite cables?
A standard NMEA 2000 backbone can extend up to 100 meters, but the precise length achievable with Actisense Lite cables may depend on overall network design and device count.
What is the maximum length for a drop cable from a NMEA 2000 backbone?
The maximum recommended length for a drop cable from the NMEA 2000 backbone to a device is 6 meters.
What is the purpose of the drain wire in an NMEA 2000 cable?
The drain wire in an NMEA 2000 cable is utilized for proper shielding termination and grounding, helping to dissipate electromagnetic interference (EMI) and reduce radiated emissions.
Can this cable be used to extend an existing NMEA 2000 backbone?
This cable is designed as a drop cable or a segment within a backbone. It is not intended to directly extend an existing backbone without proper NMEA 2000 network termination and adherence to backbone length limitations.
What is the IP rating of this Actisense cable assembly when mated?
When properly mated, this Actisense NMEA 2000 cable assembly achieves an IP67 rating, providing robust protection against dust ingress and immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.
