Section 1 - Explanation of the NavNet Concept
NavNet (Furuno Navigation Network) products are the first Furuno products that utilize
TCP/IP protocol over standard 10BASE-T Ethernet to share radar/chart/sounder images
and other navigation information from devices connected within a networked system. In
any single NavNet, a combination of up to five Furuno NavNet Network Components may
be connected to each other(Up to Four Displays and One Network Sounder). All NavNet
Network Components have one integrated 10BASE-T Ethernet port. Each NavNet
Network Component utilizes a Furuno 6-pin waterproof plug for its Ethernet connection.

NavNet Network Components Non-NavNet Network Components
-Any NavNet Display -GPS Sensors
-Network Sounder (BBFF1) -Heading Sensors
-Smart Temp/Depth Sensors
-RD30 Displays
.
Any NavNet Radar/Plotter or Plotter may be used independently as a stand-alone
product! Additionally, it may be connected to any other NavNet Display or Network
Sounder to form a sophisticated navigation system. If only two NavNet Network
Components are connected together, a single bi-directional cable can be inserted
between them to establish full network communication via their Ethernet ports. However,
if three, four, or five NavNet Network Components are networked together, an Ethernet
Hub must be utilized.
-Up to 5 NavNet Network Components Per Network Is Permitted!
-The Network Sounder (BBFF1) Must Be Used With at Least One NavNet Display!

When two NavNet Ethernet components are connected together, a single cable may
connect the Network Components. Refer to the list below for the appropriate length
cable. Utilizing any of the Furuno “6 Pin-to-6 Pin” Network Cables listed below is the
simplest way to network any two NavNet Network components.
Please note that the Network Sounder is supplied with a standard 5 Meter Network
Cable (000-144-422).

This cabling option allows Furuno NavNet Cables to be utilized for any NavNet when an
Ethernet 10BASE-T Hub is required for a multi-component NavNet system.
Use the same cables as listed in Table 3.1 for connection to each NavNet Component.
This option might be beneficial for certain installations because it provides a waterproof
Furuno cable up to the Ethernet RJ45 Hub connection.
Furuno Cable Selection Steps:
A. Select a proper length cable from Table 3.1(Page 3) for EACH NavNet Display or
Network Sounder.
Each cable must be routed to a suitable location where the Ethernet Hub will be
mounted.
Note: The Ethernet Hub Connection will not be completely weatherproof unless the hub
is installed in a weatherproof box. Please pay careful attention to the mounting location
and installation of the hub.
B. Utilize one “Furuno Hub Adapter Cable” for each NavNet Component. A Hub
Adapter Cable is a 0.5 Meter Cable that will convert the 6 pin Furuno Plug to a Male RJ45
connector. This RJ45 connector will then plug directly into any 10BASE-T Hub.

This type of installation requires the use of Furuno Display Adapter Cables. It is possible
to create a NavNet that only uses display adapter cables if the hub is mounted very close
to the NavNet Displays and Network Sounder. It is also possible to “Mix” cabling Options
#2 and #3 to create a NavNet.
When longer cable runs are required, it will be necessary to utilize CAT5 Network Cable
for NavNet Installations. Utilizing CAT5 Cabling provides flexible installations and allows
a vessel to be pre-wired during construction or in preparation for a future NavNet
installation.
-Waterproof integrity of dealer supplied CAT5 Cabling and/or connections is NOT
guaranteed by Furuno and must be performed by the installer.
-Exact CAT5 Network Installation Methods and Practices are MANDATORY! Please
see our “CAT5/RJ45 Installation Notes” below for help on this subject
All CAT5 Cables must be wired as “Straight” cables, because the connection will always
be made directly to the Ethernet Hub. “Straight” CAT5 wiring information will be provided
in the “CAT5 Cable Installation Notes”. Detailed information may also be found by using
our references in the Internet Resources section on page 8.
Page 5 11/16/01
NavNet CAT5 Cable Installation Steps:
A. Pre-Wire the NavNet Installation with CAT5 or CAT5e Cable. Crimp Male RJ45
Connectors to each end of the CAT5 Cable in a “Straight” Wiring Configuration.
Run CAT5 from each Display or Network Sounder in the NavNet to the location where
the hub will be mounted.
B. Attach a Female-to-Female RJ45 Inline Coupler to the Display or Sounder CAT5
Cable End.
This RJ45 “Straight” Inline Coupler can be purchased at CompUSA or at other
vendors. The Belkin Part Number for this coupler is R6G089-F.
Do NOT use a “Cross-Over” Coupler.
RJ45 Inline Coupler Female/Female Manufacturer – Belkin Part #R6G089-F
CompUSA SKU #612313 List Price $7.97/piece
C. Attach One Furuno “Display Adapter Cable” to Each NavNet Display and Network
Sounder. Connect the Adapter Cables to the RJ45 Couplers.
The Furuno Display Adapter Cable is a 0.5m cable with a female 6 pin connector on
one end and a male RJ45 connector on the opposite end.
.
000-144-601 Display Adapter Cable 0.5m 6P(F)-RJ45(M) List Price $45.00
NOTE: Creating a Watertight connection for the RJ45 coupler junctions is the
responsibility of the installer.
• CAT5 Cable and RJ45 Connector Information
While a complete explanation on installing CAT5 Network Cabling is beyond the scope
of this bulletin, some important information and excellent Internet resource material is
provided below to glean further knowledge about installing network cabling. These
guidelines must be followed when installing any Furuno NavNet Network Cabling.
CAT5 Cable Installation Notes:
A. Avoid Cable Stretching – The maximum pulling tension for CAT5 Cabling is 25lbs!
Exceeding this limit may cause permanent damage to the cable. CAT5 Cables utilize
exact twisted pairs for shielding protection. Distortion of the twists in the pairs
caused by excessive pulling could introduce noise problems. Use plenty of “Cable
Lube” when running cables in tight areas.
B. Avoid Tight Bend Radii and NEVER “KINK” CAT5 Cable During Installation – Over
bending CAT5 cable during installations will damage the cable. Avoid right angles
and do NOT tighten cable ties very tightly. Loose cable ties should be used to secure
CAT5 cabling. Tight cable ties will “Kink” CAT5 Cables. If a “Kink” is made in a CAT5
Cable, it should be replaced.
Page 6 11/16/01
C. Stranded or Solid Core CAT5 Cable is OK – For Cable lengths of up to 50 meters,
Stranded Core CAT5 Cable is OK and might be more suitable for high vibration
installations on smaller vessels. Solid Core CAT5 is also OK and should be used
on cable runs longer than 50 meters from a NavNet Display or Network Sounder to
an Ethernet Hub. Never exceed 80 Meters on a CAT5 cable run.
D. CAT5e Provides Better Interference Protection than Standard CAT5 – Enhanced
CAT5 (CAT5e) cabling is better to use than standard CAT5 Cable and is preferred for
NavNet installations. It costs only a few cents more per foot.
E. CAT5 Cabling Should NOT be Installed in Parallel with Power Cables – Try to run
CAT5 cabling independently from large power cable bundles, neon lights, or other
sources of EMI. Even a small separation from power cables provides enough
separation to reduce interference.
F. CAT5 Cabling Should Only Be Terminated With an RJ45 Connector – NEVER use
any other kind of connector or normal terminal strip for CAT5 cables. The network
will simply not function if this is done. “110” Punch Down Blocks are acceptable.
Check our web resources on page 8 for more information.
.
RJ45 Connector Installation Notes:
A. NEVER untwist CAT5 Cable for more than 0.5 Inches When Installing RJ45
Connectors – The twist in the wire pairs is critical for CAT5 Networks.
B. Use Quality RJ45 Crimping Tools and Thoroughly Inspect All RJ45 Crimps –
Follow the Crimping Procedures listed in our www resources for more information.
C. Only “Straight Through” Cable Sections Are Required – When using Furuno
“Display Adapter Cables” in a multi-component NavNet System, only
“Straight Through” RJ45 terminations are utilized. Hubs use straight connections.
D. Follow only TIA/EIA-586 Wiring Standards – This means that wire colors and pin
assignments for the RJ45 connector must be consistent throughout the network.
Follow the CAT5 Wire Pair Color and Pin Assignments listed below. Even though
only two pairs are utilized, all four pairs MUST be crimped!!

CAT5 Pair Colors Pin Assignment Colors (EIA/TIA 568B)
Pair 1 WHITE-BLUE Pin 1 - WHITE-ORANGE---- TRANSMIT “+”
