AS EC 20E - 20' Ethernet Cable or the AS EC 15E - 15' Ethernet Cable

2ea - AC EC QDE - Ethernet Adapter cables

The prices are basically fixed but you could possibly find a deal somewhere.

Call Humminbird support, the are very knowledgeable and will walk you through everything you need to know. You must have you model #, serial # and software version of each unit when you call so they can instruct you more accurately.

Contact David at Shut up and Fish, he is a great guy to deal with.

Are you including any additional components, Ultrex, 360 etc?

Hey Crick, if you want the Ultrex to talk to the birds you will need a 5 port hub. The hub requires power.

Factory Outlet sore has the best prices. I just ordered the Ethernet hub and Helix starter kit. Came in within 3 days.

If you connect to the hub you can control your Ultrex from the unit itself. It can be handy if there are issues with the Ultrex. I did it when I blew up a lower unit and drove back while sitting down. Remote was dead.

Regardless if you connect the Ultrex or not if you are going to be adding 360 imaging you might as well get the HUB. just getting the cables will connect the 2 graphs but the 360 and the 360 mega both use a network connection as well, they are not like a regular transducer.
Each unit only has 1 port for network on them so you will have to use a network hub to add more than 2 devices.

No the MEGA 360 does NOT use a network connection. It uses the SI circuits in the unit's transducer plug. It can be shared via Ethernet network.
