Humminbird 408450-1 5 Port Ethernet Switch , Black

Needed the networking box to connect two transducers and fishfinders for the ‘One Boat Networking’ as Humminbird describes it. I and probably many other’s find the networking box way over priced for the purpose, however it it the only way with Hummingbirds proprietary system to connect multiple devices. In my case transducer off back of the boat, transducer off the Ulterra SI+ iPilot Link trolling motor and Humminbird Helix 8 and 9. This will allow both fishfinders to select the transducer to use when on the water. This particular seller provided the networking box at a reasonable price and saved some dollars over retail and shipping was fast. However I was surprised it was not in the original box, just a sealed bag, maybe that is how they are sent out. Installer has not connected everything for now but currently happy with purchase and waiting until next summer to put it use on the water fishing.

Did exactly what I wanted it to do connected both fishfinders and ipilot ulterra together now I can share way points and control ulterra from either unit

Works great to two or more fish finders or any ethernet device to your boat

It seems to me that this product is very expensive for connecting fish locators. It retails for $250 and the cables to connect it are $50 or better. You will need one or two for each unit depending on the model of your locator. I wanted a Ultrex Link and I have a locator at the bow and the console. So bit the bullet and quite a it of money.

I networked my helix 9 gen 2 and my helix 7 gen 2 to my Minnkota i-Pilot . Wow!!! Well worth the investment. Allows me to access many features of the units. Makes fishing and controlling the boat a pleasure.

Worked fine. I wish Humminbird charged less for there accessories. Once you get done with network cables, adapters to hook them to fish finders, hub, you are talking well into $300. There is nothing special about these networking switches, their use the same IP protocols as computer networks but cost 10x as much.

Worked as it should. Enough said.

It does what its supposed to do but now there is some interference in my bow mounted sonar from the trolling motor. Im exploring options to reduce the interference.

Exactly what I wanted for the right price

Perfect condition and works perfectly now that its installed in the boat.
