Simrad Halo20 Ethernet Adapter

Seamless Connectivity for Your Simrad Halo Radar System

Enhance your boating experience with the Simrad Halo20 Ethernet Adapter, a precision-engineered cable designed specifically for Halo radar domes. This adapter bridges the gap between your radar unit and compatible Simrad multifunction displays, delivering reliable Ethernet connectivity even in the toughest marine conditions. Whether you're navigating busy harbors or open waters, this cable ensures your radar data flows smoothly, giving you crystal-clear situational awareness without interruptions.

Crafted from durable black materials, the 1.5-meter (approximately 4.9 feet) cable features an RJ45 connector on one end and a rugged 5-pin connector on the other. It ships with a waterproof boot, safeguarding connections against saltwater spray, heavy rain, and constant vibrations—common challenges on any vessel.

Key Specifications at a Glance

• Connectors: RJ45 to 5-pin male for straightforward plug-and-play setup.
• Cable Length: 1.5 meters (4.9 feet), striking the perfect balance between reach and minimal signal loss.
• Color: Sleek black finish that blends with marine electronics.
• Durability Features: Includes a protective waterproof boot to prevent corrosion and maintain peak performance.

Why This Adapter Elevates Your Radar Performance

The Halo20 Ethernet Adapter isn't just a cable—it's the vital link that unlocks the full potential of your Simrad Halo radar. Halo radars use advanced pulse compression technology for superior short-range detection, instantly alerting you to hazards like unlit vessels or floating debris. Without a solid Ethernet connection, you risk data dropouts or latency, which can be critical during low-visibility maneuvers.

Boaters praise its reliability in real-world scenarios: from weekend fishing trips to offshore adventures. The adapter supports high-speed data transfer, ensuring radar overlays on your charts remain responsive. Plus, its simple design means no complex tools or configurations are needed—plug it in, and you're ready to scan up to 20 nautical miles with confidence.

Proven Benefits for Serious Boaters

• Battle-Tested Durability: Built to withstand harsh marine environments, including extreme weather, UV exposure, and mechanical stress, so it performs when you need it most.
• Effortless Maintenance: The waterproof boot and quality construction minimize upkeep, letting you focus on the water rather than wiring worries.
• Superior Speed and Reliability: Ethernet protocol delivers low-latency radar feeds, outperforming older analog connections for faster target acquisition.
• User-Friendly Design: Intuitive connectors make installation a breeze, even for those new to marine electronics.
• Peace of Mind Protection: Backed by Simrad's limited 2-year warranty, reflecting confidence in its long-term performance.

Easy Installation Tips for Optimal Results

Setting up your Halo20 Ethernet Adapter takes minutes. Start by powering down your Simrad display and radar dome. Route the cable neatly through your console, avoiding sharp bends or heat sources. Connect the RJ45 end to an available Ethernet port on your display, and the 5-pin end to the radar dome. Secure the waterproof boot snugly over the connection to seal out moisture.

Pro tip: Use zip ties or cable clips to manage excess length, reducing clutter and snag risks. After connection, boot up your system and verify radar integration in the menu settings—look for solid network icons and test scans to confirm everything's linked. If you're upgrading from a wireless setup, this wired adapter offers unmatched stability in areas with interference.

Perfect Fit for Your Simrad Ecosystem

This adapter shines in setups with Halo20 or similar domes paired with NSS evo3, NSO evo3, or GO series displays. It's ideal for boats where space is tight, as the compact length prevents excess cabling. Anglers benefit from its quick target tracking for bird flocks signaling fish, while cruisers appreciate collision avoidance at night or in fog.

Expand your network by daisy-chaining multiple Halo radars or integrating with AIS and sonar modules—all over a single, robust Ethernet backbone enabled by this adapter.
