Furuno HUB102 Marinized 5 Port Ethernet Hub

Navigating the open water demands reliable, high-speed connections between your marine electronics, and that's where the Furuno HUB102 shines. This rugged 5-port marinized Ethernet hub bridges the gap between your sensors, multifunction displays, and other devices, delivering seamless data flow even in the harshest saltwater environments. Built tough with IPX6 water resistance and twist-lock connectors, it keeps your network humming through spray, splashes, and rough seas—without the hassle of complex configurations.

Why Boaters Trust the HUB102 for Uninterrupted Connectivity

Imagine effortlessly linking radar, sonar, AIS, cameras, and chartplotters on your vessel. The HUB102 supports gigabit speeds for lag-free performance, ensuring critical data like fishfinder readings or collision alerts reaches your screen instantly. Its plug-and-play design means no IT expertise required—just connect and go. Mariners rave about how it declutters cable runs, reduces signal loss, and future-proofs setups for evolving NavNet TZtouch ecosystems.

• Handles heavy data loads from multiple high-bandwidth devices simultaneously
• Eliminates bottlenecks common in unmanaged marine networks
• Boosts overall system reliability with auto-negotiating ports

Engineered for Marine Durability and Performance

Crafted from corrosion-resistant materials, the HUB102 withstands UV exposure, salt air, and vibrations that plague standard hubs. Each of the five ports features a secure twist-lock mechanism, paired with sealed caps for unused ones to prevent moisture ingress. Gigabit full-duplex transfer ensures blazing-fast 1000 Mbps speeds, backward compatible with 10/100 Mbps devices for versatility across your gear.

Clear LED indicators glow for power, link status, and activity, letting you diagnose issues at a glance—day or night. Mounting is straightforward: secure it to bulkheads, decks, or consoles with included hardware, and route cables cleanly for a professional install.

Effortless Network Expansion

Scale your onboard network without limits by daisy-chaining up to six HUB102 units. This creates a robust, star-topology setup ideal for larger vessels or multi-station bridges. Compatible with Furuno's NavNet TZtouch series and virtually any Ethernet-enabled marine device—from third-party NMEA 2000 gateways to IP cameras—it integrates smoothly into mixed environments. Say goodbye to daisy-chain limitations and hello to a flexible, expandable backbone.

Real-World Applications on the Water

Fishermen use it to sync live sonar data across multiple screens. Commercial operators rely on it for fleet-wide AIS tracking and engine monitoring. Recreational sailors appreciate the simplicity when adding weather stations or entertainment systems. In tournaments or charters, it prevents downtime by maintaining stable connections during high-stakes moments. Pro tip: Position hubs strategically near power sources to minimize cable lengths and electromagnetic interference from engines.
