Humminbird AS-EC-15E 15' Ethernet Cable

Enhance Your Boating Setup with Seamless Connectivity

Imagine casting off with a fully networked marine electronics system where every screen shares real-time data effortlessly. The Humminbird AS-EC-15E Ethernet cable makes this a reality by linking your compatible fishfinders, chartplotters, and accessories over a reliable 15-foot distance. Whether you're connecting two units directly or integrating into a larger network with a switch, this cable eliminates guesswork and maximizes your on-water performance.

Built tough for marine environments, it features durable 8-pin female connectors on both ends, ensuring a secure fit without adapters in most setups. Its black sheath resists wear from sun, salt, and spray, keeping connections crisp even during long fishing trips.

Why Network Your Humminbird Units?

Ethernet networking transforms individual devices into a cohesive system. Share sonar returns, GPS waypoints, and charts across multiple screens simultaneously. Spot structure on one display while tracking downriggers on another—no more toggling or data silos. This 15-foot cable is perfect for bow-to-stern installations on bass boats, center consoles, or larger vessels, giving you the flexibility to position screens where captains and crew need them most.

• Boost Situational Awareness: View the same high-definition imaging from side-by-side Helix or Solix units.
• Streamline Multi-Species Hunts: Overlay MEGA Live Imaging across networked displays for precise jigging or trolling.
• Simplify Expansion: Daisy-chain or hub through an Ethernet switch for up to five units, scaling as your rig grows.

Full Compatibility Breakdown

This cable pairs flawlessly with a wide range of Humminbird models, from cutting-edge flagships to proven performers. Note that for non-APEX, non-SOLIX, and non-ONIX systems, you'll often pair it with the AS-EC-QDE quick disconnect adapter for easier maintenance.

• HELIX Series: 15, 12, 10, 9, 8, 7 (G2N, G3N, G4N)
• Premium Lines: All APEX, SOLIX, and ONIX models
• Classic Series: 1100 (all), 900 (958c, 998c SI), 800 (858c, 898c SI), 700 Ethernet models (778c HD, 788ci HD, 798ci HD)

Exclusively for Humminbird Ethernet systems—think of it as the backbone that unlocks advanced features like shared AutoChart mapping and synchronized split-screen views.

Effortless Installation and Routing Tips

Getting networked is straightforward: simply plug one end into the Ethernet port of your primary unit and the other into your secondary display or switch. No tools required beyond zip ties for clean routing.

1. Plan your cable path: Run along gunnels or under decks, avoiding hot transducers and sharp edges.
2. Secure with marine-grade ties: Prevent snags from rods or gear.
3. Power up and sync: Units auto-detect via Ethernet—update firmware first for peak compatibility.
4. Extend if needed: Pair with AS-ECX-30E extensions for longer reaches without signal loss.

Pro tip: Label cables during install to swap units seasonally without hassle. Most anglers report plug-and-play success in under 30 minutes.

Real-World Performance and Durability

Anglers rave about the stability this cable brings to tournaments and family outings alike. It handles vibration from rough wakes and maintains gigabit speeds for lag-free 360 Imaging shares. Backed by a limited 1-year warranty, it's a smart investment in reliability. While boating electronics can involve components with trace chemicals like lead, always prioritize safe handling and ventilation during setup.
