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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.6 ft (0.5 m) length — ideal for short device drops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuper-flexible 22 AWG power conductors for easy routing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmaller diameter than backbone cable for tight installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard NMEA 2000 male\/female connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Ancor tee connectors and NMEA 2000 networks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatible Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChartplotters and multifunction displays (MFDs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVHF radios with NMEA 2000 support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth sounders and fishfinders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGPS antennas and AIS receivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine monitors and fuel sensors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutopilot control heads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eParts Desk Insights\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest 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.
