Ethernet-kaabel 7,6 m

This cable is used to create a high-speed network to interconnect marine electronic navigation equipment. It enables sharing of large data sets such as charts, fishfinder images, radar targets, and routes between multiple multifunction displays (MFD) and compatible modules.

This cable is designed to work with equipment from Navico Group brands, which includes:

B&G, Lowrance, Simrad

The main difference lies in the connector and robustness. This cable uses a 5-pin yellow waterproof and screw-type connector, designed to withstand the marine environment (vibrations, humidity, salt). A standard Ethernet cable uses a non-waterproof and less robust RJ45 connector.

Yes, you can use this cable to directly link two compatible multifunction displays (for example, a Simrad and a Lowrance) so they share their data. No additional parts are required for a connection between two devices.

Yes, this is one of its primary uses. This cable provides the high-speed connection required between a radar antenna (radome or masthead) and a compatible multifunction display to show the radar image.

Yellow is Navico’s color code for Ethernet cables and ports, making them easy to distinguish from other onboard connections like NMEA 2000 (black and red connectors).

The difference is the speed and the type of data. The Ethernet network (this cable) is designed for transferring very large amounts of data (chartplotter, radar, fishfinder). The NMEA 2000 network is designed for lighter data (GPS position, speed, engine data, wind). The two networks are often complementary on a boat.

To connect three devices or more (for example, two displays and a fishfinder module), you must use a network switch, such as the Navico NEP-2. Each device will then be connected to this switch via an Ethernet cable like this one.

Yes, absolutely. This cable is required to connect an external fishfinder module (such as a StructureScan 3D, S5100, etc.) to your compatible multifunction display to view fishfinder images.

No, it is strongly discouraged to cut or repair this cable. Any modification would compromise its shielding and waterproofing, which could cause data loss and malfunctions on your network. It is preferable to coil the excess cable in a dry location.

Yes, you can connect two Navico Ethernet cables together to achieve a greater length. You will need an Ethernet extension coupler (sold separately) to join the two connectors in a watertight manner.

This cable enables sharing of data requiring high bandwidth, including:

Chartplotter mapping (single chart for multiple displays)Fishfinder images (CHIRP, DownScan, SideScan, StructureScan)Radar data and imagesWaypoints and routes

No, not directly. Older Lowrance devices used a blue connector. To connect a device with a yellow port (such as this one) to a device with a blue port, you need a specific adapter cable (reference Navico 000-0127-50).

No, no specific tools are required. The connector is hand-tightened to ensure a secure and watertight connection. You will, however, need basic tools to route the cable through your boat's bulkheads.

No, the cable itself is passive and does not require power. It only serves to transmit data. However, any device connected with this cable (display, radar, etc.) must have its own power supply.

Yes, this is one of the major advantages of the Navico ecosystem. You can use this cable to connect and enable communication between compatible devices from all three brands (B&G, Lowrance, Simrad) on the same Ethernet network.
