A2K-SBN-2 8 Way Self-contained Boat Network
Installing small NMEA 2000® networks is quicker and easier than it’s ever been with the Self-contained Boat Network (SBN) from Actisense.
The equivalent of eight T-pieces in a single case provides a significant time and space saving with no more connecting multiple T-pieces together. Termination resistors are built in which increases the saving on time and space.

Once the attached 3 metre cable is connected to the boats power supply, an NMEA 2000 network for up to eight devices is ready to use, taking ‘plug & play’ to the next level.
FEATURES
- Self-contained NMEA 2000 Network
- Integrated Termination Resistors
- 8x NMEA 2000 drops
- Ruggedized, flame retardant over-moulded housing
- Metal coupling nuts
- Integrated EMI Shield
- Orange, UL Rated, 3-meter power cable
- Colour coded wires, stripped and tinned
BENEFITS
- Low cost, quick to install, and provides an easy way to connect multiple NMEA 2000 devices
- Simple installation, fewer components, more reliable, lower cost
- Accommodates the vast majority of compact NMEA 2000 networks
- Suitable for wet and harsh conditions- highly desirable in marine environments
- Reliable, long lasting connections
- Less likely to be susceptible to interference
- UL rated cable provide peace of mind. Colour easily differentiates the power cable form drop cables
- Quick installation, no special tools required
Use Case
On smaller vessels, available space can often be limited. The space for installing devices, cables, connectors and other pieces of equipment requires careful planning to ensure everything will fit and work together.
In a scenario where there are a number of NMEA 2000 instruments in close proximity to one another, the SBN is perfect.
By offering a complete, correctly terminated network within the SBN, the amount of space taken up compared to building a standard backbone using tees and drops is much less. Reducing the amount of cabling and connectors required saves time, cost and weight.
This in turn also makes cable management much easier and neater.
Note; The SBN cannot be expanded past the number of supported device drop connections. i.e. the SBN-1 cannot support 5 devices, and the SBN-2 cannot support 9.
Please consider this before planning to use an SBN.
