Ethernet-kaabel 15,2 m

This Navico Ethernet cable measures precisely 15.2 meters, which is equivalent to 50 feet. It is one of the longest lengths available, ideal for installations on large boats.

This cable is used to create a high-speed data network to interconnect compatible marine electronic equipment. It enables the sharing of information between different devices, such as:

Multifunction displays (MFDs)Radar antennasSonar modules (such as StructureScan 3D)Other Navico Ethernet peripherals

This cable is specifically designed for Navico group equipment. It is therefore compatible with the following brands:

Simrad Lowrance B&G

Yes, absolutely. This is one of the primary uses for this cable. It ensures the fast transfer of high-resolution radar imaging data from the antenna to your multifunction display(s) (MFD).

The main difference lies in bandwidth and the type of data transferred:

The Ethernet network (this cable) is designed for high-speed transfer of large data volumes, such as radar images, complex fishfinder data (StructureScan, CHIRP) and detailed charting. The NMEA 2000 network is designed for lower-throughput data, such as GPS information (position, speed), engine data, wind or depth data.

Both networks are often used together on a boat but are not interchangeable.

Yes, this cable is fitted with yellow 5-pin connectors specifically designed for marine environments. They provide a fully waterproof and secure connection, resistant to vibration, corrosion, and saltwater spray.

No, this cable is not compatible with Garmin or Raymarine equipment. Each manufacturer uses its own proprietary Ethernet connector system. This cable is exclusively for the Navico ecosystem (Simrad, Lowrance, B&G).

No, it is strongly discouraged to cut and solder or splice this cable. Such a modification would compromise its shielding against interference, its waterproofing, and signal quality, which could lead to malfunctions in your network.

A 15.2-meter length is required for installations on large boats or when the devices to be connected are far apart. For example, to connect a radar antenna mounted on a mast or T-top to a display located in the helm or wheelhouse, ensuring a clean cable run without tension.

No, this is not possible. This cable uses 5-pin marine-grade waterproof connectors specific to Navico, not standard RJ45 connectors found on domestic or office computer equipment.

The connectors on this cable are yellow. This is the standard color code used by Navico, Simrad, Lowrance, and B&G to easily identify ports and cables on their Ethernet network.

Yes, absolutely. This cable allows you to network two multifunction displays (or more, via a network switch such as the NEP-2) so they can share all their information: charts, waypoints, routes, as well as data from connected depth sounders and radar.

Yes, this cable is specifically designed for the marine environment, which is often rich in electromagnetic interference. It features internal shielding to protect high-speed data signal integrity and ensure reliable communication between your devices.

To ensure a correct connection, you must firmly push the connector into the Ethernet port of the device until you feel or hear a slight "click". Then, screw the yellow locking ring on the connector until it is hand-tight to guarantee watertightness and mechanical security.

Yes, this Ethernet cable is fully compatible and required to connect high-performance fishfinder modules such as the StructureScan 3D or other fishfinder black boxes to your boat's network, to display images on your multifunction displays.

Yes, this is technically possible by using a specific waterproof extension coupler (sold separately). However, for maximum reliability and to minimize potential failure points, it is always recommended to use a single cable of the correct length rather than connecting multiple shorter cables.

No. The blue connectors on older Lowrance devices are typically associated with the NMEA 2000 network (LowranceNET). This Ethernet cable, with its 5-pin yellow connectors, is not compatible with these ports. It only plugs into the yellow Ethernet ports.

This cable allows sharing data that requires high bandwidth, such as:

Real-time radar imageryData from advanced fishfinders (CHIRP, DownScan, SideScan, StructureScan 3D)Shared marine charts across multiple displaysWaypoints, routes, and tracksInformation from certain AIS modules

Yes, connecting a radar antenna from Navico Group brands (such as Halo or Broadband models) to a multifunction display requires a mandatory Ethernet cable like this one to transmit the high data volume generated by the radar.
