Actisense A2K-KIT-4A NMEA 2000 Smart Starter Kit – 4m

The Actisense A2K-KIT-4A NMEA 2000 Smart Starter Kit is a complete solution for building a reliable NMEA 2000 Micro network with integrated diagnostic capability. It includes all essential components required for a basic two-device network, while the Smart Universal Terminators provide clear LED indication of network power at both ends of the backbone.

This makes the kit particularly suitable for professional installers, boat builders and boat owners who want a robust network that is easier to check and troubleshoot.

Smart diagnostic capability

The main advantage of the A2K-KIT-4A is the inclusion of two A2K-TER-U Smart Universal Terminators.

These intelligent terminators monitor network voltage and provide a clear LED indication of power status at both ends of the backbone.

This allows one of the most common NMEA 2000 network problems — incorrect or insufficient power — to be identified quickly without additional diagnostic equipment.

Complete NMEA 2000 starter kit

The kit includes:

• 1 x A2K-MPT-2 Micro Power T-Piece

• 2 x A2K-TER-U Smart Universal Terminators

• 2 x A2K-T-MFF Micro T-Pieces

• 1 x A2K-TDC-4M Lite Cable Assembly, 4 metres

Together, these components provide the basis for a correctly powered and terminated two-device NMEA 2000 network.

4-metre backbone cable

The supplied 4-metre backbone cable offers a practical balance between compact and more spread-out installations.

It is suitable for:

• Compact helm stations

• Mid-sized vessels

• Installations where connected equipment is positioned several metres apart

• Professional marine electronics installations

Power connection

The included A2K-MPT-2 Micro Power T-Piece connects the NMEA 2000 network to the boat's 12V power supply.

Correct network power is essential for reliable communication between all connected NMEA 2000 devices.

Two device connection points

The two included Micro T-Pieces provide drop connections for compatible NMEA 2000 equipment.

Typical devices can include:

• GPS and chartplotters

• Marine instruments

• NMEA 2000 sensors

• AIS equipment

• Engine interfaces

• Autopilot components

• Other compatible NMEA 2000 devices

Marine-grade connector construction

Actisense uses metal connector bodies and nickel-plated brass contact pins throughout the kit.

This provides durable, corrosion-resistant connections and good mechanical reliability in demanding marine environments.

Ideal for installations where troubleshooting matters

The Smart Universal Terminators make this kit especially useful in installations where future access to the network may be difficult.

Being able to confirm network voltage at both ends of the backbone with a quick visual check can save considerable time during maintenance or faultfinding.
