Actisense A2K-MPT-1 NMEA 2000 Power Cable
The 3 metre Actisense A2K-MPT-1 Micro T power cable features quality NMEA 2000 male and female quick fit connectors allowing ''plug and play'' connectivity. The double power connections in the cable allow either all the network to be powered together or alternatively a separate power supply for the two sides of the network allowing greater flexibility. Designed by Actisense, the connectors are shaped to allow easy fitting and the threaded lock ensures secure connections.
All Actisense NMEA 2000 connectors and cables are UL certified and NMEA certified and are fully compatible with other NMEA connectors and devices as well as the DeviceNet® standard.
Previous-generation model — Fully NMEA 2000 compatible for new or existing backbones and available only while stocks last. It is less expensive than the new model, the A2K-MPT-2. Both models offer split backbone power. The MPT-1 suits installations requiring one male and one female Micro connector, rather than the two female connectors on the new MPT-2. Its power lead is black; MPT-2’s is orange.
Keep monitoring on, save battery — The two backbone sides have separate power feeds, so a correctly wired installation can keep one side permanently powered and switch the other off when you are not on board. This lets boat-monitoring sensors and gateways remain on while displays, MFDs and other non-essential equipment are off, reducing battery use. Place devices on the appropriate side and switch any separate equipment supplies as well. The switching and fuses are external: use a common supply ground and protect each feed in accordance with Actisense’s instructions.
