Know before you buy
Yes, the AS-ETH-5PXG is designed to connect various Ethernet-enabled marine devices, including Humminbird Radar, NMEA 2000 network modules, and multiple sonar units. It acts as a central hub to allow these devices to share data across your boat's network.
Yes, the unit features a rugged, waterproof construction specifically engineered to withstand the harsh conditions of marine environments, making it suitable for mounting in areas exposed to moisture.
No, this switch does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE). You will need to provide a separate power source for any connected devices that require it.
No configuration is required. This is an unmanaged, plug-and-play switch, meaning it will automatically recognize and facilitate communication between your connected Humminbird devices as soon as they are plugged in.
You will need standard Humminbird Ethernet cables to connect your devices to the switch. Depending on the specific generation and model of your Humminbird units, you may also need additional Ethernet adapter cables to ensure compatibility with the RJ45 ports.
Not at all. The switch supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1 Gbps, which is more than sufficient to handle high-bandwidth data like high-resolution sonar imaging and radar feeds without bottlenecking your network.
