Micro 4-Way Instrument Drop

The Actisense 4-way drop makes it easier to reach up to four devices with a single cable.

Typically, when four devices need to be connected to an NMEA 2000 backbone, a T-piece and individual cable is required for each one. This can either mean excessive cabling demands or moving the backbone closer to your devices.

The 4-way drop makes it possible to shorten the length of each cable needed before reaching a T-piece.

The Actisense Micro 4-Way Instrument Drop (A2K-4WD-1) is an interconnect cable designed to simplify NMEA 2000 network installations. This product allows up to four NMEA 2000 devices to connect to a single backbone segment via one cable, rather than requiring individual T-pieces and cables for each device. It is intended for IT professionals and system integrators managing marine or industrial NMEA 2000 networks where multiple instruments are co-located.

This 4-way drop addresses common cabling challenges by reducing the number of individual cables and T-pieces required. By consolidating connections, it helps to minimize cable clutter and can shorten the overall length of drop cables needed to reach the NMEA 2000 backbone. This can be particularly beneficial in installations with space constraints or where optimizing cable runs is a priority, streamlining network architecture for improved efficiency.
