Detailed description

The Furuno 8-port Ethernet HUB, model HUB-101, is designed to centralize Ethernet network connectivity on vessels equipped with Furuno NavNet 3D and TZtouch/TZtouch2 navigation systems. This unmanaged switch provides eight 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T Ethernet ports, enabling fast data distribution between multifunction displays, radar antennas, and compatible fishfinder modules. Its power supply is compatible with 12–24 Vdc shipboard networks.

Integration and Key Features

The HUB-101 includes a Power Sync RJ45 function, essential for synchronizing the power supply to connected NavNet 3D display units. This feature simplifies power-on and power-off management for the entire system. For more complex or scalable network setups, multiple HUB-101 units can be installed in series on the same LAN, increasing the number of available ports. LED indicators display power status and each network port’s state, facilitating quick diagnostics. The unit can be mounted on a desk or bulkhead but must be kept away from direct sunlight and water spray.

Positioning within the Furuno Range

Compared to other Furuno solutions, the HUB-101 is the standard for 100BASE-TX networks. For example, the HUB-102 is a 5-port marine Ethernet hub with watertight connectors and Gigabit speeds, intended for NavNet-series MFDs requiring higher throughput and greater environmental resistance. For installations demanding advanced network capabilities, such as dual ECDIS setups or complex Gigabit networks, the Furuno Intelligent Hub 3000 provides a managed switch solution with intelligent routing functions and Layer 3 compatibility. The Furuno 8-port Ethernet HUB (HUB-101) is therefore optimized for existing NavNet 3D and TZtouch/TZtouch2 architectures, offering a reliable and easy-to-deploy solution for standard 100 Mbps network requirements.

Expert opinion

« Le HUB-101 Furuno : pilier du réseau NavNet 3D et TZtouch »

Le HUB Ethernet 8 ports Furuno (HUB-101) représente une solution éprouvée pour la mise en réseau des équipements de navigation Furuno. Son utilité principale réside dans sa capacité à créer une dorsale Ethernet stable pour les systèmes NavNet 3D et TZtouch/TZtouch2, permettant l'interconnexion d'écrans multifonctions, de radars et de sondeurs. Ce type de hub est particulièrement pertinent pour les embarcations de taille moyenne qui ne nécessitent pas la complexité ou le débit des réseaux Gigabit, offrant une architecture fiable et simple à maintenir.

L'installation est facilitée par son caractère "plug-and-play" et la possibilité de le monter en bureau ou sur cloison. Il est crucial de le positionner à l'intérieur du navire, à l'abri des projections d'eau et de la lumière directe du soleil, car il n'est pas conçu pour des environnements extérieurs agressifs, contrairement à des solutions plus robustes comme le HUB-102 qui intègre des connecteurs étanches. Sa fonction Power Sync RJ45 est un atout majeur pour la gestion centralisée de l'allumage des écrans, simplifiant l'opération quotidienne du système.

Alors que le HUB-102 offre des vitesses Gigabit et une meilleure protection environnementale, et que l'Intelligent Hub 3000 est un switch géré de couche 3 pour les architectures les plus exigeantes, le HUB-101 se distingue par sa simplicité et son coût maîtrisé pour les réseaux 100 Mbps. Il est le choix pertinent pour consolider un système NavNet existant sans surdimensionner l'infrastructure réseau. Il ne sera pas adapté pour des besoins en Gigabit Ethernet ou pour des installations nécessitant une gestion réseau avancée.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the Furuno 8-port Ethernet HUB (HUB-101)?

The Furuno 8-port Ethernet HUB, also known as model HUB-101, is an unmanaged network switch designed to centralize Ethernet connectivity on vessels. It enables rapid data distribution between multifunction displays, radar antennas, and fishfinder modules compatible with the Furuno NavNet 3D and TZtouch/TZtouch2 navigation systems.

How many Ethernet ports does this hub have?

This hub is equipped with eight Ethernet ports.

Which Ethernet connection speeds are supported by this hub?

The HUB-101 supports Ethernet connection speeds of 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX, which corresponds to the Fast Ethernet standard.

Is this hub a managed or unmanaged switch?

The Furuno 8-port Ethernet HUB is an unmanaged switch. This means it requires no software configuration to operate, providing a plug-and-play solution.

What are the indicator lights on the HUB-101?

The HUB-101 features LED indicators that display the device’s power status as well as the connection and activity status of each network port, enabling quick diagnostics.

What is the weight of the Furuno 8-port Ethernet HUB?

The weight of this hub is 2 kilograms.

Is the HUB-101 waterproof or water-resistant?

No, the HUB-101 is not waterproof. It must be installed in a dry location, protected from direct water spray and intense sunlight to ensure proper operation and longevity.

Which Furuno navigation systems is this hub compatible with?

This hub is specifically designed to be compatible with Furuno NavNet 3D and NavNet TZtouch/TZtouch2 navigation systems.

Can I connect devices from other brands to this hub?

Although the hub is optimized for integration with Furuno NavNet marine systems, it is a standard 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet switch. It can therefore technically connect other devices compatible with this Ethernet standard, but features such as Power Sync are exclusive to compatible Furuno equipment.

Is the HUB-101 compatible with Furuno NavNet TZtouch3 systems?

No, the HUB-101 is generally not recommended for Furuno NavNet TZtouch3 systems. These newer systems often require Gigabit Ethernet hubs (such as Furuno HUB-104 or HUB-105 models) for optimal network performance due to their higher bandwidth requirements.

Can this hub be used in a Gigabit Ethernet network?

The HUB-101 only supports 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX speeds. It can be connected to a Gigabit Ethernet network, but all devices connected via this hub will be limited to a maximum speed of 100 Mbps.

Is the HUB-101 compatible with Furuno radars?

Yes, the HUB-101 is suitable for connecting radar antennas compatible with Furuno NavNet 3D and TZtouch/TZtouch2 systems, enabling radar data distribution across the onboard network.

Can I connect a PC to this hub?

Yes, you can connect a PC to this hub via a standard Ethernet cable, provided the PC is configured for a 10/100BASE-TX network. However, the hub is primarily designed for integration with Furuno marine electronic systems.

What is the required power supply for the Furuno 8-port Ethernet HUB?

The Furuno 8-port Ethernet HUB requires a 12 or 24 Vdc power supply, making it compatible with most vessel electrical systems.

Where should the HUB-101 be installed on a vessel?

The HUB-101 can be mounted on a desk or bulkhead. It must be installed in a dry location, protected from direct sunlight and water spray to ensure its longevity and proper operation.

Is it possible to use multiple HUB-101 units to extend my Furuno network?

Yes, it is entirely possible to install multiple HUB-101 units in series on the same local network (LAN) to increase the total number of Ethernet ports available and thus connect more devices.

How does the Power Sync RJ45 function work?

The Power Sync RJ45 function is a feature of the HUB-101 that synchronizes the power supply to connected NavNet 3D display units. This simplifies the management of powering on and off the entire NavNet 3D system.

Which types of Ethernet cables are required to connect devices to the HUB-101?

To connect devices to the HUB-101, you must use standard Ethernet cables (e.g., Cat5e or Cat6) fitted with RJ45 connectors.

Is the Furuno 8-port Ethernet HUB covered by warranty?

Yes, this product is covered by Furuno’s standard manufacturer warranty. For warranty terms and conditions, please refer to the documentation provided with the product or contact customer service.
