Actisense N2K Male/Male Gender Changer - 0.25M

The Actisense N2K Male/Male Gender Changer – 0.25M (part number A2K-GCM-0.25M) is a compact adapter designed to solve a critical connectivity challenge on NMEA 2000 marine networks. This connector bridges two cable connectors of the same type and gender, eliminating the mismatch problem that occurs when connecting devices or cables that both feature male connectors on your NMEA 2000 backbone network.

Measuring 0.25 meters in length, this gender changer provides sufficient cable run to accommodate standard marine installation layouts without requiring additional extension cabling. The male-to-male configuration allows seamless integration between incompatible connector pairs while maintaining the signal integrity of your NMEA 2000 network. Built by Actisense, a recognized manufacturer of marine networking solutions, this adapter meets the specifications required for reliable marine electronics integration.

This adapter is essential for marine system installers, boat owners upgrading NMEA 2000 networks, and technicians troubleshooting connector compatibility issues. Whether working with GPS units, depth finders, autopilot systems, or other NMEA 2000-certified equipment, the N2K gender changer removes installation barriers caused by standardized connector designs. The compact form factor and lightweight construction (0.1 lbs) make it an unobtrusive addition to any marine electrical system, fitting easily within tight panel spaces typical of vessel wiring closures.
