Kabel Ethernet 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 devices. It enables data sharing between different devices, such as:

Multifunction displays (MFD)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:

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 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 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 the marine environment. 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 Ethernet connector system. This cable is exclusively for the Navico ecosystem (Simrad, Lowrance, B&G).

No, cutting and resoldering or splicing this cable is strongly discouraged. 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-metre 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 T-top to a display in the helm or wheelhouse, ensuring a clean cable run without tension.

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 like 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 features 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 sonar modules such as the StructureScan 3D or other sonar 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 imagingAdvanced fishfinder data (CHIRP, DownScan, SideScan, StructureScan 3D)Shared marine mapping across multiple displaysWaypoints, routes, and tracksCertain AIS 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.
