P5E-4PTX-BL L=2M Network Cable 2m RJ45/RJ45 (FA40/FA70)

This FURUNO P5E-4PTX-BL network cable is 2 meters long. This length is ideal for connecting nearby equipment within your marine installation.

This cable is fitted with modular RJ45 connectors at each end. These are standard connectors for Ethernet networks, ensuring easy and secure connections.

This network cable is specifically designed to be compatible with the following Furuno equipment:

AIS transponders FA-40AIS transponders FA-70NavNet VX2 navigation systemsIt ensures reliable connectivity for these devices.

Yes, this cable is designed to withstand marine environments. It is made with 26 AWG multi-strand copper conductors and its outer jacket is LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), providing enhanced safety and good resistance.

This cable is Category 5e (CAT5e). This means it is suitable for Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) and Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) networks over short distances, ensuring stable data transmission.

Yes, this cable is an STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable, meaning it is shielded. The shielding helps protect data from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency noise (RFI), which is crucial in a marine environment where many electronic devices are present.

The cable uses 26 AWG (0.13 mm²) multi-stranded copper conductors. The multi-stranded design provides better flexibility, while 26 AWG gauge is common for network patch cords.

This cable is designed to operate within a temperature range from -20 °C to 60 °C. This thermal robustness makes it suitable for the temperature variations encountered at sea.

Yes, this cable complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. This directive restricts the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, ensuring a more environmentally friendly product.

Although this cable is specifically listed for FA-40 and FA-70 AIS transponders and NavNet VX2 systems, it is a standard CAT5e category 5e Ethernet RJ45 patch cable. It may potentially be used with other Furuno or marine equipment requiring an RJ45 Ethernet connection, provided these devices support CAT5e specifications and the 2 m length is sufficient. It is always recommended to check the device’s specific documentation to confirm compatibility.

The cable is an Ethernet RJ45 network cable. While NMEA 0183 networks use cables for data transmission, they are typically serial-type cables rather than Ethernet RJ45. However, some Furuno equipment may use Ethernet connections to transmit NMEA 2000 data or proprietary encapsulated data. For pure NMEA 0183, this is not the type of cable directly used to connect NMEA 0183 instruments themselves, but it can be used to connect NMEA gateways or multiplexers to an Ethernet network.

Modern network cables for equipment such as Furuno devices are typically straight-through cables. Current network devices often include Auto-MDI/MDIX functionality, which automatically detects the cable type and adjusts the connection, making crossover cables less common for direct device-to-device connections. This cable is designed for standard connectivity between Furuno devices and a network hub or between two compatible devices.

Using an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer jacket is a significant advantage in marine environments. In the event of a fire, LSZH cables emit minimal opaque smoke and toxic or corrosive gases, unlike PVC cables. This enhances onboard safety by reducing the risk of poisoning and facilitating evacuation, while also protecting sensitive electronic equipment from corrosive damage.

The product context specifically mentions compatibility with NavNet VX2 systems. While NavNet TZtouch systems also use Ethernet networks, it is still advisable to check the specific wiring requirements for TZtouch models, as they may have different specifications or recommended cable lengths. For guaranteed compatibility, refer to the documentation of your NavNet TZtouch system.

The cable is Category 5e (CAT5e) and uses 26 AWG stranded copper conductors. The CAT5e specification is generally compatible with standard Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, which allow powering devices via the network cable. However, the actual ability to support PoE also depends on the power required by the powered device and the cable length. For critical PoE applications, always consult the specifications of the relevant Furuno equipment and the PoE injector.

Yes, if your existing network cable is RJ45/RJ45 type and the 2-metre length of this patch cable is sufficient for your installation, it can replace it. Ensure the existing cable is also category 5e or higher and that compatibility with your Furuno equipment is maintained. The 2-metre length is a key factor to consider for the layout of your devices.

The primary function of this network cable is to establish a reliable and stable data connection between compatible Furuno equipment, such as the FA-40/FA-70 AIS transponders and NavNet VX2 systems. It enables the transmission of critical navigation and safety information, including AIS data or network information between multifunction displays and hubs.

The specified product here is the P5E-4PTX-BL L=2M, indicating a length of 2 meters. Furuno often offers different lengths for its network cables to suit various installation requirements.
