Overview
This waterproof Ethernet switch is designed to expand a Humminbird network by linking up to five compatible devices in one setup. It can be used to connect multiple head units, share transducers, add an NMEA 2000 network, or integrate with Humminbird Radar. For anglers building a more capable electronics system, it offers a straightforward way to organize several connections through a single switch. The main trade-off is that its value is tied to compatible Humminbird networking needs, so it is best suited to users planning a multi-device installation.
