RJ45 Ethernet Adapter Cable for Halo Dome Radar

This adapter cable connects a Halo Dome radar series (Simrad, Lowrance, B&G) to a marine Ethernet network. It converts the RJ45 connector of the radar cable into a proprietary Navico 5-pin Ethernet connector, enabling communication with a multifunction display (MFD) or a network switch.

The length of this adapter cable is 1.5 meters.

This cable has two different connectors:

One end with a proprietary waterproof connector designed to plug into the main cable of your Halo Dome radar. The other end with a standard Ethernet RJ45 connector for connection to your boat's network.

Yes, this is an original Navico part, with the reference 000-14552-001. Using official parts ensures compatibility and optimal reliability with your equipment.

This adapter is specifically designed for the marine environment. It ensures correct pinout, adequate shielding, and manufacturing quality that protect the integrity of the radar's high-speed data. A non-certified standard adapter could compromise the performance and watertightness of your installation.

This cable is designed exclusively for Halo Dome series radars from Simrad, Lowrance, and B&G.

No, this adapter is not compatible with radars from Garmin, Raymarine, or other brands. It is specifically designed for the network ecosystem and connectors of Navico products (Simrad, Lowrance, B&G).

Yes, absolutely. This adapter is designed to connect your Halo Dome radar to an Ethernet port, whether it's on a multifunction display (MFD) from these brands or a compatible network module.

The RJ45 end of the adapter connects to the RJ45 cable of your radar. It is the 5-pin end that can be connected directly to:

An available Ethernet port on your multifunction display (MFD). A marine Ethernet network switch, such as the Navico NEP-2, to integrate the radar into a larger network with multiple displays or sensors.

Yes, this adapter remains essential. The cable coming out of the Halo radome has a standard RJ45 plug. This adapter is required to convert this plug into a proprietary Navico 5-pin Ethernet connector that you can then plug into one of the NEP-2 switch ports.

No, this model 000-14552-001 is specifically designed for Halo Dome radars. Open-array (Open Array) radars may use different connection systems.

Installation is straightforward:

Connect the RJ45 end to the cable coming from your Halo Dome radar antenna. Connect the other end, with the proprietary connector (5 pins), to a free Ethernet port on your multifunction display or network switch.

The connection between the radar cable and the adapter (on the proprietary connector side) is designed to be watertight and secure, suitable for marine environments. The RJ45 end is also equipped with a cable gland and a sealing sleeve, making it fully watertight once tightened, allowing use in wet marine environments.

It is not recommended to extend the section between the radar and this adapter. However, if you need more length, you must use a Navico 5-pin Ethernet extension cable of the desired length between the output of this adapter and your display or switch.

No, no specific tools are required to connect this adapter. The connectors are plug-and-play type.

The adapter bridges the radar cable to the boat's internal network. It must be installed so the RJ45 connector and network connection are in a weather-protected and dry area, for example inside a console or technical compartment.

Without this adapter, it is impossible to physically connect your Halo Dome radar cable to your boat's Ethernet network (MFD screen or switch). The radar will therefore be unable to transmit its data and will be inoperative.

Yes. Using this official Navico adapter cable is mandatory to maintain the warranty on your Halo radar equipment. Using non-certified solutions or modifying the wiring may result in damage not covered by the warranty.

The part number, or SKU, for this adapter cable is 000-14552-001.

The intended and supported use of this adapter is to connect the radar to a marine multifunction display (MFD) or a boat network switch. A direct connection to a computer is not standard and may not work without specific software and configurations.
