Yes, the panel mount requires a circular cutout to accommodate the threaded housing. You should consult the installation manual for your specific Simrad display to ensure you have the correct clearance and mounting surface thickness before drilling.
Yes, you can use this cable to charge devices if your connected display or hub provides power through its USB port. However, keep in mind that this is primarily designed for data transfer and may not support high-speed charging protocols.
The 1-meter length is generally intended for connecting a display mounted on a dash to a nearby, protected USB access point. If your equipment is located further away, you may need to plan your mounting location carefully to ensure the cable reaches without excessive tension.
