Ancor NMEA 2000 Cables & Connectors
Premium Quality. Universal Fit.
Backbone Cables
Large gauge cable to provide better network reliability and reduce voltage drop for critical backbone connections.
Drop Cables
Super flexible cable for ease of installation and wire routing.
Accessories
Everything needed to correctly build a NMEA 2000 network.
Starter Ktis
Easy to install starter kits include all necessary components needed to build a new NMEA 2000 network.
Ancor Network Color Coding System
Yellow & Black Couplers
All backbone cables and backbone accessories come with a yellow coupler to make identifying the network backbone easy.
Drop cables and accessories that should be connected to drop cables all come with black couplers.
Red Power Drop (Tee)
The red tee of the power tee makes finding the power connection as easy as possible in hard to reach consoles or compartments where batteries may be stored.
Blue Power Isolation
In specialized applications, for example connecting a screen that also has its own power connection, a power isolator is needed to ensure that the NMEA network only has one source of power. This can be managed and easily identified with the blue power isolator. (If you are unsure of the application for this product please contact a NMEA certified installer for more info)
Benefits
- Color coding makes installing a new system easier and more efficient
- Adding tees and drop cables is easier because you know where you can create a break and add tees
Difference Between Ancor Backbone Cables & Drop Cables
Wire Gauge
Ancor backbone cables are produced with a larger gauge size cable than other cables on the market to help increase network reliability and reduce voltage drop across a network backbone which can at times span long distances. Ancor drop cables, which are typically a much shorter distance, are produced with a smaller gauge wire than our backbone cables allowing them to be routed more easily through bulkheads or behind panels.
Coupler Colors
Backbone cables which are made of the larger gauge wire are easily identified by the yellow couplers on each end which connect to yellow couplers on tee connector. Drop cables and their black couplers then connect to black couplers on the bottom of tees or to other helpful accessories like our 90° elbow, which helps to reduce tight bends in the drop cable which can effect performance.
Benefits
- Large gauge cable results in a more reliable network
- Smaller gauge cable is easier to route
- Color coded system takes the guess work out of knowing which cable is which

excellent product at a great price. We recently rewired our NMEA 2k system in our sailboat and used all these tee connectors for all of our electronics. Highly recommend!

Easy to install, but kind of bulky. Just make sure you install it in the proper direction for your setup, or you might run into some issues. Once that’s sorted, it works perfectly. Can’t complain, it gets the job done!

I ran this at the same time as my ethernet cables. I didn't know much about the brand, but the build quality seemed pretty nice.

As a newb to NMEA 2000, I had to get a starter kit for my new Garmin GPS modulator. This was the best option for me, as it comes with a double tee. I'm only connecting to 2 units, so that's a plus. Ancor is a super highly rated WIRING company, so I new this was going to be awesome. So far it is, and it isn't. The setup is solid, no doubt. The issue is where it's made.....PRC. Not a huge deal, because NOBODY makes them in the USA, where I live. It goes together pretty easily, not over using my noggin for this. It came with the end terminators 1 M, 1 F. The double Tee,2 drop down leads, and the power tee. Using a double tee saves space, and gves a cleaner looking install. This is the best priced, well built nmea 2000 starter kit out there.

This cable seems to be well built, good feel to the locking mechanisms and very sturdy. Looking forward to years of service from this cable.This is my first leap into NEMA 2000 networking. The place that installed our radio didn't hook up the remotes and left us hanging. Long story short, I was able to figure it out and this backbone cable worked perfectly and gave us full function of the system again.
