Seamless Integration with Furuno HUB102 and NavNet Systems

This jumper cable pairs flawlessly with the HUB102, Furuno's versatile Ethernet switch that expands connectivity for TZtouch, TZT², and TZT³ series displays. Use it to link closely positioned devices like plotters and autopilot interfaces, freeing up longer runs for backbone cabling. It's a staple for installers upgrading from single-device setups to full network ecosystems, including compatibility with DRS radars, DFF sounders, and GP-170/1870F GPS units.

In professional setups, it supports NMEA 2000 gateways via Furuno's Ethernet adapters, enabling unified data sharing across your vessel's electronics without compromising speed or reliability.

Simple Installation Tips for Optimal Performance

1. Power down all connected devices to avoid electrical surges.
2. Align the RJ45 connectors straight into HUB102 ports and your target device—listen for the satisfying click.
3. Route the cable away from high-heat sources like engines and secure with cable ties to prevent snags.
4. Test the link via Furuno's network diagnostics tools on your MFD to confirm solid green status lights.
5. For multi-hub daisy chains, alternate short jumpers with longer cables to balance load distribution.

Pro tip: In retrofits, label cables for quick troubleshooting during maintenance seasons.
