Connects two Helix 9 G3Ns
I used the ethernet cable to connect two Helix 9 G3N units directly without having to purchase an ethernet box. It was simple to synchronize them and now I can see at the front of my boat the same readouts as I have at the console. In addition, I have Humminbird 360 Imagining and can see that on both units. So this ethernet cable has giving me additional capability at a fraction of the price of setting up an ethernet network. Great product, great performance.

Works as it should!
It works like it should. Connects my network switch to the dongle that goes into my Helix 7. Well made connectors that don't seem to fail.

Your'e gonna need a bunch of cables!
Love the Humminbird Mega SI and Mega DI units but there are several cables necessary to network the units together, over $400 just for cables. The cable worked as advertised and delivery was right on time.

I purchased this unit to connect a Humminbird 899ci HD SI Combo at the drivers console to a Humminbird 859ci HD DI at the front of the boat. Installation is a breeze. Just hook up the cable to both units and enable networking in accordance with the instructions. You have the ability to name both units, share transducers, share GPS inputs, and (most importantly) share routes, waypoints, and data between the unit.
The real way to use this is to find the cover/structure you are looking for at the drivers console using side imaging, mark the location, then use the downscan from the front unit to pinpoint the structure you found and fish it.
The ability to share data and inputs to both units is incredibly useful. This product was easy to install and the units recognized the changes immediately. Definitely recommend.

Works great on Humminbird Helix unit
Works great to network more than two units together. Would be nice if they offer more lengths.
Question & Answer
Question :
Will the humminbird 720073 5 ethernet cable connect an 1197 and an 898
Answer :
Yes it will work but you have to update the 1197 with the latest software and contact hummingbird for software for the 898 that is compatible. They will send it to you for free, it is not on their web page. The 898 can not have the latest software or you will not be able to share with each other.
Question :
Can this cable be used to connect two ethernet compatible units, or do I need additional cables/ adapters?
Answer :
Jay,
The cable number and picture do not match.
The 720073-2 AS EC 10E cable has to threaded connections that will connect between 2 Ethernet compatible systems or from one system to a network box.
I can't talk to older versions of Humminbird systems. In my case I have a newer bow mounted 999 SI CS HD, a Minn Kota GPS controlled trolling motor and a console mounted 798 all connected to a network box.
I hope this helps.
Question :
Will this cable work with helix
Answer :
Works on my helix 9 Si and helix 9 sonar/gps
Question :
Will this cable work for my Helix 9?
Answer :
according to answers on Cabelas site it will , I BOUGHT TO connect humminbird 899 to a Helix 9 but haven't tried it yet, you also may need adapter cable AS EC QDE
Question :
Is this the cable I need to hook my helix 9 to my terrova with link?
Answer :
Humminbird told me it was the one to hook my unit to ultrex so it is probably the one you need.
Question :
Will this work for my helix 9 to my minnkota?
Answer :
I don't think so
I purchased the Ethernet box and ran the trolling motor and my front 899 to my back 999 so they all link together
Question :
I want to verify that this has a male and a female end. i need the male end to hook into my ipilot link minn kota motor (older model).
Answer :
Yes it does have a female and male end.
Question :
Can i link a 899 to a 798
Answer :
Yes. But both will need Nav cards
Question :
Can i link a 998c hd si combo and a958 c di comboand use just one navionics card ?
Answer :
Sorry but no. If you link the2 together with an Ethernet box you can share waypoints. You will still need one chip per unit
Question :
got a terrova with I link do I need adapter for my helix 7?
Answer :
You will need this type of cable which is female to female. Also, you will need the 5 to 8 pin adapter as well. If you search for "Humminbird Ethernet" on YouTube, I have a video on this. Just look for my name in the search results.
