Lowrance 6 FT Ethernet Cable ETHEXT-6YL Product Description
Enhance your marine electronics setup with the reliable extension that keeps your Lowrance network running smoothly across greater distances. This durable 6-foot Ethernet cable bridges the gap between your displays, sensors, and expansion hubs, ensuring seamless data sharing even in the toughest on-water conditions.
Perfect Fit for Seamless Networking
Designed specifically for boaters who demand precision and connectivity, this cable features rugged 5-pin yellow connectors that snap securely into place. It extends your Ethernet reach without signal loss, making it ideal for multi-unit installations where space is at a premium. Whether you're linking a chartplotter to a radar dome or sharing sonar data across screens, this extension maintains the high-speed performance Lowrance users expect.
Key Features That Stand Out on the Water
- Extended Length: 6 feet of flexible cabling provides just the right amount of slack for clean routing around consoles and bulkheads.
- Marine-Tough Build: Shielded construction resists corrosion, UV exposure, and vibration from rough seas, outlasting standard cables in saltwater environments.
- Plug-and-Play Simplicity: No tools or adapters needed—simply connect to compatible ports for instant network expansion.
- High-Bandwidth Support: Handles demanding data flows like StructureScan overlays, radar returns, and AIS tracking without lag.
Universal Compatibility Across Lowrance Lineups
Works flawlessly with all Ethernet-enabled Lowrance units from 2007 onward, including popular HDS, Elite, Hook, and Ghost trolling motor series. It integrates directly with Navico's NEP-1 and NEP-2 expansion ports, letting you daisy-chain multiple devices for a fully integrated helm. Boaters upgrading from older NMEA 0183 setups appreciate how this cable unlocks modern networking capabilities, sharing waypoints, routes, and real-time sonar across your entire fleet of screens.
Pro Tip for Installation
Route the cable away from high-power sources like engines or radios to minimize interference. Secure it with zip ties or cable clips for a tidy, professional look that withstands heavy weather. Test your network post-install by pinging devices—full connectivity confirms optimal performance.
Why Boaters Choose This Extension
In the world of offshore fishing and coastal cruising, every connection counts. This cable eliminates short-reach frustrations, letting you position displays exactly where you need them for tournament-winning reads or safe navigation. Anglers report clearer StructureScan images when extending from bow-mounted transducers, while cruisers value the radar extension for spotting squalls from afar. It's not just wire—it's the backbone of a responsive, future-proof marine system.
