A2K-KIT-1 ACTISENSE NMEA 2000 Micro Starter Network Kit

The A2K-KIT-1 ACTISENSE (A2K-KIT-1a) is an essential NMEA 2000 certified starter kit designed to establish a fundamental marine electronics data network on small-to-medium vessels, workboats, and pleasure craft. Containing all core backbone components in a single package, the A2K-KIT-1 ACTISENSE simplifies CAN-bus deployment for connecting chartplotters, GPS antennas, transducers, and engine gateways.

Constructed with heavy-duty overmoulded Micro-C connectors, metal M12 coupling nuts, and continuous internal shielding, the A2K-KIT-1 ACTISENSE guarantees IP67 water ingress protection and high immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Universal Micro-C DeviceNet standards ensure seamless plug-and-play compatibility across Garmin, Raymarine, Lowrance, Simrad, Furuno, and B&G devices.

Key Features of the A2K-KIT-1 ACTISENSE

• Complete Starter Infrastructure: Includes two T-pieces, male and female termination resistors, a fused power cable, and a 2-meter drop cable for a complete backbone assembly.

• Fused Power Cable Assembly: Supplies isolated, noise-filtered DC power directly to connected instrument drop lines.

• IP67 Sealed Waterproofing: Overmoulded TPU housing and rubber internal seals safeguard pin contacts against saltwater spray, bilge humidity, and condensation.

• Corrosion-Resistant Metal M12 Threads: Nickel-plated brass coupling rings prevent unthreading and connector damage caused by vessel motion and engine vibration.

• Universal NMEA 2000 Compliance: 100% NMEA 2000 certified for complete interoperability across all compliant marine instrument brands.

Primary Applications

• New NMEA 2000 Vessel Installations: Setting up an initial NMEA 2000 communication network on center consoles, RIBs, and fishing boats

• Instrument & MFD Integration: Linking multifunction displays (MFDs) with VHF radios, AIS receivers, and depth/wind sensors

• Engine & Sensor Telemetry: Routing engine gateways and fuel monitoring sensors to the central dashboard display
