Know before you buy
This adapter allows you to bridge connections between devices using different port standards, specifically converting an M12 8-pin male connection to a 5-pin female interface. It is designed to ensure seamless data transmission between compatible Navico marine electronics.
No, this is a short 1.2-foot patch cable intended for direct, localized connections between devices. It is best used when your equipment is already in close proximity.
The yellow connector is a standard identifier for Navico Ethernet equipment. This color-coding helps you quickly distinguish your network cables from other onboard wiring, making installation and troubleshooting much easier.
This cable uses UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) construction. While it is built to be durable for marine environments, it does not feature additional shielding, so it is best kept away from high-voltage power lines to maintain signal integrity.
This adapter is specifically engineered for Navico network equipment. While other brands may use similar pin configurations, we recommend using this only with compatible Navico devices to ensure reliable data performance and network integrity.
