Digital Yacht NMEA 2000 6-Meter Drop Cable

This Digital Yacht cable is a 6-meter (20-foot) NMEA 2000 drop cable, built with metal connectors rather than plastic for maximum reliability at each connection point. Drop cables like this one let a boat owner expand an NMEA 2000 network to whatever size is actually needed, adding one device at a time as the system grows. A metal connector shell holds up better over years of vibration and salt exposure than a plastic housing would.

Digital Yacht drop cables can also double as backbone cables and connect easily to build any length of backbone required, so this same cable works in either role depending on how the network is laid out. The total length of all drop cables on a single network must stay under 76 meters. That limit is worth keeping in mind on a larger installation with many devices spread across the boat.

Standard Micro C connectors make future network expansion straightforward, since any new device using the same connector standard plugs right in. The metal connector shells improve reliability over a plastic equivalent. The cable also carries a waterproof rating suited to the wet, corrosive conditions of a marine installation.
