HUB8 Switch 8 ports 10/100Mbps

The FURUNO HUB8 Switch is equipped with 8 Ethernet ports, allowing you to connect eight different devices simultaneously to your marine network.

This switch supports data transmission speeds of 10/100 Mbps. This means each port can operate at 10 Megabits per second or 100 Megabits per second, automatically adapting to the speed of the connected device.

The primary role of the HUB8 is to centralize and distribute Ethernet data traffic between the various electronic devices on your boat. It facilitates the interconnection of navigation systems, radars, sonars, multifunction displays, and other sensors to create a coherent network.

Yes, the FURUNO HUB8 Switch is specifically designed for marine applications. It is built to withstand typical conditions encountered aboard a vessel, such as temperature variations and humidity, ensuring stable connectivity at sea.

The FURUNO HUB8 Switch uses standard RJ45 connectors for all its Ethernet connections. These connectors are compatible with Ethernet cables commonly used in marine installations.

No, as an unmanaged switch, the FURUNO HUB8 Switch does not require an IP address for its own operation. It acts as a transparent data bridge, forwarding packets between connected devices.

Yes, the FURUNO HUB8 Switch is ideal for extending an existing Ethernet network or creating a new one aboard. It allows adding connection points for new devices or offloading a main switch that is already overloaded.

The FURUNO HUB8 Switch is typically designed for surface mounting. It is recommended to secure it in a dry, protected location, away from direct water spray and excessive vibration, using appropriate fasteners.

No, the FURUNO HUB8 Switch is a plug-and-play device. Once properly powered and Ethernet cables connected, it operates immediately without requiring any software configuration or complex setup.

Yes, the FURUNO HUB8 Switch is specifically designed for integration with Furuno NavNet TZTouch navigation systems. It simplifies the interconnection of various compatible devices within this network.

Yes, you can connect other Furuno devices that use a standard Ethernet interface (such as radars, depth sounders, IP cameras or compatible multifunction displays) to the HUB8 to integrate them into your marine network.

Yes, the HUB8 is a standard Ethernet switch. It can therefore technically connect equipment from other brands that also use 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports. However, it is optimized for the Furuno ecosystem and some advanced features may be brand-specific.

The FURUNO HUB8 Switch is an Ethernet switch and is not directly compatible with NMEA 2000 networks. NMEA 2000 is a different communication protocol (based on CAN bus). To integrate NMEA 2000 data into an Ethernet network, a converter or an NMEA 2000 to Ethernet gateway is required.

Yes, the FURUNO HUB8 Switch, like most electronic products, is covered by the manufacturer's standard warranty. Specific warranty details are provided with the product.
