Marine Ethernet & Network Cables

A modern boat may have lots of navigation and other electronic equipment including an autopilot, chartplotters, fish finders, IP cameras, security systems, laptops, etc. Many of these devices are compatible with the NMEA 0183 or 2000 protocol allowing you to form a network while others (such as PCs or digital cameras) require an Ethernet connection. Like most wired computer networks on land, their marine counterparts also use the RJ45 cable, although it usually has waterproof connectors. Marine Ethernet technology is offered by many reputable companies under their own trademarks such as Furuno NavNet, Simrad Network, SeaTalk HS or RayNet by Raymarine, Garmin Marine Network, and some others.

Essentially, Ethernet and NMEA technologies are not compatible with each other, but quite often, boaters need to connect a laptop or navigation PCs to the NMEA network. It becomes possible with the help of a special Ethernet electronic gateway or a recently developed, innovative NMEA OneNet standard protocol allowing you to provide the IP networking of marine electronic devices. In our online store, you will find a wide range of marine Ethernet & network cables, adapters, and programming tool kits which comply with the industry's latest standards and are sourced from the reliable manufacturers mentioned above.
