HangTon 8-Pin to RJ45 Ethernet Cable for Humminbird 5m

HangTon 8-pin female to RJ45 shielded Ethernet cable (5 m) connects Humminbird Ethernet-capable fishfinders to PCs and Ethernet switches for AutoChart and networked devices.

This purpose-built 5-meter cable bridges Humminbird devices (Helix series and compatible models) with laptops, Ethernet switches and other networked hardware, enabling live-map creation, data transfer and reliable communication in marine and industrial environments. Constructed with a shielded CAT5e twisted pair core, solid connectors and a waterproof jacket, it prioritizes stable signal integrity and corrosion resistance where cable performance matters.

What devices will this cable work with?

The HangTon cable fits Humminbird models that use an 8-pin female Ethernet connector and standard RJ45 8P8C interfaces. It is designed for Helix 7/8/9/10/12/15 and select 1100/900/800/700 Ethernet-capable units, plus PCs and Ethernet switches used in AutoChart workflows.

• 8-pin female to RJ45 8P8C compatibility for Humminbird Ethernet ports
• Works with Humminbird Helix and compatible model lines
• Connects directly to PCs, laptops and Ethernet switches for AutoChart Live Draw
• Also suitable for assorted networked sensors and control equipment

How does shielding and waterproofing improve reliability?

The cable uses a shielded CAT5e construction and a metal-shell 8-pin connector tied to the cable shield to limit electrical interference. The PVC jacket and waterproof connector body protect against splashes and damp marine conditions, lowering the risk of signal loss or corrosion over time.

• 4x26 AWG CAT5e twisted-pair shield for reduced EMI
• Metal-shell 8-pin connector bonded to shield for secure grounding
• PVC outer jacket resists abrasion and moisture exposure
• Waterproof connector design helps in marine installations

Can I use this cable for non-fishfinder network tasks?

Yes — while optimized for Humminbird devices and AutoChart, the cable also serves many industrial and audio/visual networking roles. It supports connections between switches, PCs, sensors, actuators and various control systems that accept 8P8C RJ45 interfaces and require shielded cabling.

• Suitable for Ethernet switches, PCs and laptops
• Compatible with sensor, actuator and industrial control networks
• Works with CCTV control, LED displays and other networked equipment
• Useful where shielded Cat5e performance is preferred

How long is the cable and what are the specs for installation?

The cable measures 5 meters (16.4 feet), offering flexible placement between displays, switches and computers without signal boosters for typical onboard or indoor setups. Its compact 8-pin female connector and standard RJ45 plug make routing and terminations straightforward for most installations.

• Length: 5 m / 16.4 ft for comfortable device separation
• Conductor: 4x26 AWG solid wires in twisted-pair CAT5e format
• Jacket: durable PVC for marine and industrial use
• Connectors: 8-pin female (device end) and RJ45 8P8C (PC/switch end)

Who is this for: The HangTon 8-pin to RJ45 5 m cable is aimed at boaters, anglers and marine technicians who use Humminbird fishfinders with AutoChart or need a dependable link to a PC or Ethernet switch. It is also a practical choice for installers and engineers who require a shielded, waterproof Cat5e cable for sensor networks, CCTV or industrial automation tasks where a reliable, interference-resistant connection is essential.
