Know before you buy
The HUB101 acts as the central Ethernet connection point for a NavNet 3D system. It links all your onboard displays and components, allowing them to share data and synchronize power states seamlessly.
The HUB101 supports up to ten displays within your NavNet 3D network. If your system requirements grow, you can also stack up to three HUB101 units together to expand your capacity.
Yes, because the unit is rated IP20, it must be installed in a dry, protected area. It should be mounted on a desktop or bulkhead away from direct sunlight and water spray to ensure longevity.
Power synchronization allows you to turn your entire NavNet 3D display suite on or off simultaneously. This simplifies your startup and shutdown procedures by ensuring all connected components respond to a single master command.
The HUB101 is specifically engineered for the NavNet 3D ecosystem using a 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T Ethernet interface. While it uses standard Ethernet, its synchronization and integration features are optimized for Furuno NavNet 3D components.
The HUB101 is no longer available and has been succeeded by the Furuno HUB102. If you are planning a new installation or a major system upgrade, the HUB102 is the current standard for these network requirements.
