The Actisense® Quick Power Drop (QPD-1) Provides a convenient and safe method of connecting a power source to an NMEA 2000® network.

QPD-1-PMW is fitted with standard NMEA 2000® M12 (micro-fit) connectors which allow ‘plug and play’ connections to a backbone using factory-made fixed length micro-fit cables. The QPD-1-PMW can be quickly connected to Actisense NMEA 2000® micro cable assemblies of various lengths.

The QPD-1 provides separate and fuse-protected power feeds to both the left and right sides of an NMEA 2000® backbone, while providing diagnostic capability through easily visible LED’s which indicate the presence, fuse status and polarity of the power feed. Left and right fuses can be removed independently enabling either side of the backbone to be quickly isolated during diagnostic checks.

A major feature of the QPD-1 is its Integrated low drop, high current schottky diodes that protect the backbone and the power sources from reverse polarity connections and potential back feed (from a secondary power source).
