NMEA2000 Micro Bulk Cable Reel - 100M

Create or extend an NMEA 2000 backbone of flexible lengths to suit any installation.

The Actisense NMEA 2000 Bulk Lite cable is available in 100-meter reels and is ideal for use with the Actisense QNB-1 Quick Network Block or Field Fit Connectors (FFC).

NMEA 2000 cable includes five wires within a single waterproof cable: power and ground wires, two signal (data) wires, and a drain wire. The drain wire connects to the cable shield, which protects the signal, power, and ground wires from external Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and helps reduce RFI emission from the cable.

NMEA 2000 Lite cable can be used to create a backbone up to 100 meters in length. If the backbone length required exceeds 100 meters, the center of the bus can be extended with an NMEA 2000 mini cable to keep the outer Lite sections to the 100-meter maximum.

The maximum permitted length of a drop cable (distance from the backbone) is 6 meters. It is important to limit each drop length to the minimum required, as the total of all drop lengths must not exceed 72 meters. To help with this limitation, Actisense has drop cable assemblies in varying lengths from 0.25 meters to 6 meters.

The Actisense range of NMEA 2000 connectors and cables has been designed using our specialist interconnect and NMEA knowledge.
