A2K-4WD ACTISENSE NMEA 2000 4-Way Drop Cable Hub
The A2K-4WD ACTISENSE is a heavy-duty NMEA 2000 4-way instrument drop cable hub designed to simplify multi-device connections at crowded helm stations, engine rooms, and instrument panels. Combining a consolidated 4-port Micro-C junction block with an integrated 6-meter backbone drop cable, the A2K-4WD ACTISENSE enables installers to connect up to four NMEA 2000 instruments to a main backbone line using a single backbone drop connection.
Constructed with premium overmoulded strain relief, continuous internal shield foil, and nickel-plated metal M12 coupling nuts, the A2K-4WD ACTISENSE delivers superior IP67 water ingress protection and high resistance to engine vibration and electromagnetic interference (EMI). It provides a clean, space-saving alternative to stringing multiple standard T-pieces together behind tight console spaces.
Key Features of the A2K-4WD ACTISENSE
-
Integrated 6-Meter Drop Backbone Cable: Built-in heavy-duty cable connects directly to the primary NMEA 2000 backbone line, saving installation time and reducing connection points.
-
Consolidated 4-Port Junction Block: Expands a single backbone drop location to four female Micro-C drop ports for chartplotters, gauges, VHF radios, and transducers.
-
Space-Saving Console Architecture: Replaces bulky chains of individual T-connectors behind dashboard instrument clusters.
-
IP67 Sealed & Fully Shielded: Continuous internal foil-and-braid shielding protects CAN-bus telemetry against power fluctuations and RF noise.
-
Rugged Metal Coupling Threads: Corrosion-resistant nickel-plated brass M12 rings ensure secure, vibration-proof locking on commercial and recreational vessels.
-
Universal Micro-C Compatibility: 100% NMEA 2000 certified for seamless plug-and-play operation with Simrad, Lowrance, Garmin, Raymarine, Furuno, and B&G devices.
Primary Applications
-
Helm Console Dashboard Hubs: Grouping multifunction displays (MFDs), autopilots, AIS receivers, and marine VHF units at a central instrument panel
-
Flybridge & Second Station Wiring: Extending four NMEA 2000 device drops to an upper deck or secondary steering station via a single backbone run
-
Engine Monitoring & Sensor Networks: Connecting multiple engine telemetry sensors, fuel tank senders, and flow meters in engine spaces back to the main vessel network
