Lowrance 6Ft/1.82M Ethernet Crossover Cable Yellow

Bottom line: The Lowrance 6Ft/1.82M Ethernet Crossover Cable Yellow ($39.00 on Amazon as of 2026-10-06): Syncs sonar/GPS units so bow and helm share waypoints, routes, and alarm settings; main trade-off: only compatible with Lowrance gear using the 5-pin yellow ether port.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Syncs sonar/GPS units so bow and helm share waypoints, routes, and alarm settings
  • ✓ Moisture and solvent-resistant jacket built for wet marine cockpits
  • ✓ Fits Lowrance units with the 5-pin yellow ether connector
  • ✓ Crossover wiring links two units directly, no network hub needed

Cons

  • ✗ Only compatible with Lowrance gear using the 5-pin yellow ether port
  • ✗ Fixed 6ft length limits helm-to-bow runs on larger boats
  • ✗ Crossover pinout won't connect to standard RJ45 networks
  • ✗ One cable only; larger multi-unit networks need more cables

Manufacturer description

An ethernet connection is a great way to streamline a marine-electronics system. Ethernet synchronizes multiple sonar/GPS units – the unit in the bow will always have the same information as the unit at the helm, including waypoints, routes, alarm settings and data logs.

SpecPicks scored Lowrance 6Ft/1.82M Ethernet Crossover Cable Yellow using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the retro networking cards category. Lowrance's retro networking cards lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.
