Ethernet-kábel 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 allows sharing information between different devices, such as:

Multifunction displays (MFD)Radar antennasSonar modules (e.g., StructureScan 3D)Other Navico Ethernet peripherals

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

SimradLowranceB&G

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

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

The Ethernet network (this cable) is designed for transferring large volumes of high-speed data, such as radar images, complex fishfinder data (StructureScan, CHIRP), and detailed mapping. 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 watertight 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 connector system for Ethernet networks. This cable is exclusively intended for the Navico ecosystem (Simrad, Lowrance, B&G).

No, it is strongly discouraged to cut, resolder or splice this cable. Such a modification would compromise its shielding against interference, its waterproofing and the 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 very far apart. For example, to link a radar antenna installed on a mast or a T-top to a display located in the helm or the bridge, ensuring a clean and tension-free cable run.

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

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

Yes, exactly. This cable allows you to network two multifunction displays (or more, via a network switch such as the NEP-2) so they 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 has internal shielding to protect the integrity of high-speed data signals and ensure reliable communication between your devices.

To ensure a proper 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 ensure 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, it 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 connects to the yellow Ethernet ports.

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

Real-time radar imageryData from advanced depth sounders (CHIRP, DownScan, SideScan, StructureScan 3D)Shared marine cartography across multiple displaysWaypoints, routes, and tracksAIS module information

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.
