The Navico NEP2 Navico Expansion Port (part number 000-10029-001) is a waterproof, powered Ethernet hub designed for marine networking applications. This device facilitates data sharing between compatible Navico displays and add-on modules, addressing the need for integrated communication across an onboard network. It is suitable for HDS series chartplotters and earlier Lowrance models (LCX, LMS, GlobalMap) manufactured in 2007 or later, provided they feature a 5-pin Ethernet connector. The NEP2 allows for the connection of up to five compatible displays and Ethernet modules, enabling the transmission of sonar, StructureScan Sonar Imaging, Broadband 3G Radar, HD Digital Radar, and LWX-1 SIRIUS Satellite Weather data. Its robust IPX7 waterproof standard and resistance to corrosive marine environments ensure reliable operation in demanding conditions. The unit also features advanced VHF radio band noise rejection and includes waterproof caps for unused ports, supporting future expansion while maintaining protection.
The NEP2 is compatible with HDS series displays and add-on modules. It also supports 2007 and later Lowrance LCX, LMS, and GlobalMap models that feature a 5-pin Ethernet connector for networking multiple displays.
The product data specifies the Navico NEP2 Navico Expansion Port itself, which is a powered hub. It includes waterproof caps for unused connector ports.
This expansion port enables the sharing of sonar, StructureScan Sonar Imaging, Broadband 3G Radar, HD Digital Radar, and LWX-1 SIRIUS Satellite Weather data between networked displays.
The Navico NEP2 requires a 12 vDC power supply, with a maximum operating range of 10 to 17 vDC.
