Humminbird AS-ETH-5PGL 5 Port Ethernet Switch

Unlock Seamless Networking for Your Humminbird Fish Finders

Imagine casting lines with confidence, knowing every unit on your boat is sharing real-time sonar data, waypoints, and charts instantly. The Humminbird AS-ETH-5PGL Ethernet switch transforms isolated fish finders into a powerful, unified system. Perfect for serious anglers running multi-screen setups on bass boats, center consoles, or offshore rigs, this compact hub connects up to five Ethernet-ready devices, letting you view MEGA Live Imaging from one screen while controlling your Minn Kota trolling motor from another—all without lag or complexity.

Built tough for the marine environment, it handles the vibrations, splashes, and power fluctuations of a day on the water. No more siloed information; get the full picture to spot fish faster and navigate smarter.

Core Features That Elevate Your On-Water Setup

• Five-Port Expansion: Link five Humminbird units or accessories, creating a shared network for sonar overlays, route syncing, and heading sensor data across screens.
• Daisy-Chain Ready: Stack multiple switches to support sprawling networks of up to 20 devices, ideal for tournament pros or charter captains with elaborate electronics arrays.
• Intuitive LED Status Lights: Quick-glance diagnostics—amber power confirms juice is flowing, while amber and green port lights signal connections and active data flow for different device types.
• Plug-and-Play Simplicity: No IT degree required; just connect cables, power up, and watch your units auto-discover each other on the network.

These aren't just specs—they mean less time troubleshooting and more time fishing, with reliable performance even in rough conditions.

Perfect Compatibility for Modern Humminbird Lineups

Designed to integrate flawlessly with flagship models, it pairs with APEX and SOLIX series for high-end networking, plus HELIX G4N and G3N for versatile mid-range powerhouses. Amber lights glow for HELIX units, NMEA 2000 gateways, Minn Kota motors, and CHIRP radar. Green lights activate for APEX, SOLIX, MEGA Live imaging, TargetLock, and other switches like the 5PXG.

This color-coded system cuts setup time in half, helping you focus on the bite.

Effortless Installation and Pro Tips

Mount it securely under your console or in a dry box using the included hardware. Power it via the dedicated cable (12-24V DC friendly), then run Ethernet cables from each device. For HELIX models, grab AS EC QDE adapters to bridge the gap seamlessly.

Angler Hacks:

• Route cables along existing wiring paths to keep your deck clean and snag-free.
• Test the network on the trailer—verify lights and data sync before launch.
• Pair with a 360 Imaging transducer for bird's-eye views shared across all screens.
• In saltwater, rinse connections post-trip to maintain peak reliability.

Users rave about how it simplifies bow-to-stern control, turning solo outings into command-center precision.

What's Included for Immediate Deployment

• The rugged 5-port Ethernet switch itself.
• Power cable for straightforward boat battery hookup.
• Mounting hardware for secure, vibration-proof installation.

Everything you need to go live—extra cables sold separately for custom runs.

Real-World Wins: Why Anglers Swear By It

From walleye warriors on northern lakes to offshore pelagics hunters, this switch shines in multi-unit battles. Share AutoChart Live maps instantly, sync i-Pilot Link routes, or overlay radar returns on every display. It future-proofs your rig too—add MEGA SI+ or new sensors without starting over. The result? Bigger limits, safer runs, and setups that impress at the ramp.
