Marine audio cable Shielded Ethernet cable 6 meters

This cable is specifically designed to establish reliable and high-quality network connections within Fusion marine audio systems. It enables Ethernet data transmission between compatible devices, essential for an integrated marine audio network.

This Fusion shielded Ethernet cable has a length of 6 meters (approximately 20 feet), providing sufficient flexibility for many marine installations.

Yes, absolutely. This cable is a "marine-grade audio cable" and is designed with shielding and materials resistant to harsh marine environments, including moisture, salt, and temperature variations.

The term "shielded Ethernet" means the cable has additional protection (shielding) around the conductor pairs. This shielding helps minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency noise (RFI), ensuring stable and uninterrupted data transmission—critical in a marine environment where many electronic devices are present.

This cable is fitted with standard RJ45 connectors at both ends, compatible with most Ethernet ports on Fusion marine audio devices and other compatible equipment.

Yes, this shielded Ethernet cable is fully compatible with Fusion Apollo Series marine audio systems, as well as other Fusion devices requiring an Ethernet connection for the audio network.

This cable uses standard RJ45 connectors and is designed for Ethernet networks. It may potentially be used with equipment from other brands that support standard Ethernet connections for audio or control, provided the network specifications are compatible. However, it is optimized for Fusion systems.

No, this cable is a standard shielded Ethernet cable and is not compatible with NMEA 2000 networks. NMEA 2000 is a different communication protocol that requires specific cables and connectors.

Yes, if your Garmin chartplotter and Fusion audio system are both compatible with Ethernet networking for audio data sharing or control, this cable can be used to interconnect them. It enables communication between compatible devices on a marine Ethernet network.

Technically, it is possible to use an Ethernet coupler to connect two cables, but to maintain signal integrity and marine environmental resistance, it is generally recommended to use a single cable of the appropriate length. If a longer length is required, it is preferable to opt for a single longer cable if available, or consult a professional for an optimized network solution.

Yes, route the cable away from sources of electromagnetic interference (engines, high-power radios), secure it firmly to prevent movement and abrasion, and use watertight deck glands if the cable passes through bulkheads. Ensure connectors are well protected from moisture after installation.

Yes, as a marine cable, it is designed to withstand outdoor conditions. However, to maximize its lifespan, it is always preferable to protect it from intense direct UV rays and excessive mechanical stress when possible.

The shielding of this cable is usually grounded via the RJ45 connectors when connected to properly grounded equipment. No additional external grounding is typically required for the cable itself, but it is essential that all connected equipment is properly grounded according to marine standards.

This cable is designed to be flexible enough for typical routing on a boat while maintaining the robustness required for a marine environment. Its flexibility allows for easy installation around obstacles.

This shielded Ethernet cable is designed to support the standard data transmission speeds required by marine audio networks, typically up to 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet) or 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet) depending on the connected devices' specifications. It provides sufficient bandwidth for audio streaming and device control.

The cable is usually supplied without additional protective caps for the RJ45 connectors. Handle the connectors with care and insert them into the ports as soon as possible after unpacking to avoid damaging the pins.

Yes, as a marine-grade cable, it is designed to provide good resistance to UV rays, contributing to its durability even when exposed to sunlight. However, prolonged and intense exposure can still affect the lifespan of any material.

Yes, this cable is covered by Fusion’s standard manufacturer warranty. This warranty covers manufacturing defects and material defects, ensuring product quality and reliability.

Using shielded Ethernet cable on a boat is critical because it provides better protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) generated by engines, radios, radars, and other marine electronic equipment. This ensures more stable and reliable data transmission for your audio system, minimizing signal dropouts or degradation.
