Ethernetový kabel 7,6 m

This cable is used to create a high-speed network to interconnect marine electronic navigation equipment. It enables the sharing of large data volumes such as charts, fishfinder images, radar targets, and routes between multiple multifunction displays (MFD) and compatible modules.

This cable is designed to work with equipment from Navico Group brands, which includes:

B&G, Lowrance, Simrad

The main difference lies in the connector and robustness. This cable uses a yellow 5-pin waterproof and screwable connector, designed to withstand the marine environment (vibrations, humidity, salt). A standard Ethernet cable uses a non-waterproof and less robust RJ45 connector.

Yes, you can use this cable to directly connect two compatible multifunction displays (for example, a Simrad and a Lowrance) so they share data. No additional parts are required for a connection between two devices.

Yes, this is one of its primary uses. This cable ensures the high-speed connection required between a radar antenna (radome or mast) and a compatible multifunction display to show the radar image.

The yellow color is a color code used by Navico to easily identify Ethernet cables and ports. This prevents confusion with other types of onboard connections, such as the NMEA 2000 network (black and red connectors).

The difference is in speed and data type. The Ethernet network (this cable) is designed for transferring very large amounts of data (chartplotter, radar, depth sounder). The NMEA 2000 network is designed for lighter data (GPS position, speed, engine data, wind). The two networks are often complementary on a boat.

To connect three or more devices (for example, two displays and one depth sounder module), you must use a network switch, such as the Navico NEP-2. Each device will then be connected to this switch via an Ethernet cable like this one.

Yes, absolutely. This cable is required to connect an external fishfinder module (such as a StructureScan 3D, S5100, etc.) to your compatible multifunction display in order to view fishfinder images.

No, it is strongly discouraged to cut or repair this cable. Any modification would damage its shielding and waterproofing, which could cause data loss and malfunctions on your network. It is better to coil the excess cable in a dry location.

Yes, it is possible to connect two Navico Ethernet cables together to achieve a longer length. You will need an Ethernet extension coupler (sold separately) to join the two connectors in a watertight manner.

This cable enables data sharing requiring high bandwidth, including:

Chartplotter mapping (single chart across multiple displays)Fishfinder images (CHIRP, DownScan, SideScan, StructureScan)Radar data and imagesWaypoints and routes

No, not directly. Older Lowrance devices used a blue connector. To connect a device with a yellow port (like this one) to a device with a blue port, you must use a specific adapter cable (reference Navico 000-0127-50).

No, no specific tool is required. The connector screws in by hand to ensure a secure and watertight connection. You will, however, need basic tools to run the cable through your boat's bulkheads.

No, the cable itself is passive and does not require power. It only serves to transport data. However, each device you connect with this cable (display, radar, etc.) must have its own power supply.

Yes, this is one of the major advantages of the Navico ecosystem. You can use this cable to connect and enable communication between compatible devices from all three brands (B&G, Lowrance, Simrad) on the same Ethernet network.
