A2K-KIT-2 ACTISENSE NMEA 2000 Micro Starter Network Kit

The A2K-KIT-2 ACTISENSE is a comprehensive, NMEA 2000 certified starter kit designed to easily deploy a robust, high-reliability NMEA 2000 micro network on commercial vessels, fishing boats, and luxury yachts. By incorporating Actisense’s innovative 4-Way T-piece (A2K-4WT), this kit streamlines network architecture, saving space and reducing installation time compared to traditional multi-piece T-connector setups.

Engineered with premium overmoulded connectors, shielded cables, and metal M12 coupling nuts, the A2K-KIT-2 ACTISENSE delivers superior IP67 waterproof protection and immunity against marine electromagnetic interference (EMI). Universal Micro-C DeviceNet compatibility guarantees seamless plug-and-play integration with chartplotters, GPS receivers, engine gateways, wind transducers, and marine instruments across all major manufacturers.

Key Features of the A2K-KIT-2 ACTISENSE

• All-In-One Backbone Network Solution: Includes every essential component needed to power, extend, and terminate a standard NMEA 2000 vessel network.

• Consolidated 4-Way Junction Hub: Utilizes the space-saving A2K-4WT 4-way T-piece, eliminating up to four separate single T-pieces behind instrument consoles.

• Fused Power Cable Protection: Includes an A2K-POW fused power insertion cable, delivering isolated and noise-filtered power to all network drops.

• IP67 Waterproof & EMI Shielded: Full heavy-duty overmoulding and continuous internal foil/braid shielding ensure reliable data communication in marine environments.

• Rugged Metal Coupling Rings: Durable nickel-plated brass M12 locking rings prevent connector loosening due to engine vibration and rough sea conditions.

• Universal Micro-C Compatibility: 100% NMEA 2000 certified to interoperate with Lowrance, Simrad, Garmin, Raymarine (via adapter), Furuno, and B&G devices.

Primary Applications

• New Vessel NMEA 2000 Infrastructure: Setting up initial NMEA 2000 backbones on workboats, patrol craft, and recreational vessels

• Helm Station Instrument Hubs: Connecting multifunction displays (MFDs), VHF radios, autopilots, and depth sounders at a central dashboard location

• Engine Room Telemetry Expansion: Linking engine telemetry gateways, fuel flow sensors, and tank senders directly to the vessel’s primary display network
