Ancor NMEA 2000 Drop Cable – 1.6 ft (0.5 m)
Connect your NMEA 2000 devices to the network backbone cleanly and reliably. This short drop cable bridges the gap between a tee connector and your chartplotter, VHF radio, depth sounder, or other NMEA 2000-compatible instrument. The cable is intentionally thinner and more flexible than backbone cable, making it easy to route in tight spaces behind panels and consoles.
Key Features
- 1.6 ft (0.5 m) length — ideal for short device drops
- Super-flexible 22 AWG power conductors for easy routing
- Smaller diameter than backbone cable for tight installations
- Standard NMEA 2000 male/female connectors
- Compatible with Ancor tee connectors and NMEA 2000 networks
Compatible Applications
- Chartplotters and multifunction displays (MFDs)
- VHF radios with NMEA 2000 support
- Depth sounders and fishfinders
- GPS antennas and AIS receivers
- Engine monitors and fuel sensors
- Autopilot control heads
Parts Desk Insights
Best use case: This 1.6 ft drop is the right choice when your device sits very close to the tee connector — think a flush-mounted chartplotter or a radio installed directly above the network junction. If your device is mounted further away or you need more slack for service loops, consider a longer drop cable. To build or expand your NMEA 2000 network, start with the Ancor Single Device Starter Kit (270201) or the Dual Device Starter Kit (270202). For tee connectors, see the Ancor NMEA 2000 Single Tee Connector or the 4-Way Tee Connector (270104). Don't forget to terminate your backbone with the Female Terminator (270105) and Male Terminator (270106).
