Navico NEP2 Network Expansion Port
The Navico NEP2 is a powered 5-port Ethernet hub for sharing sonar, radar, and weather data across multiple HDS and earlier Lowrance displays. Compatible with HDS series displays and 2007 and later LCX, LMS, and GlobalMap models with 5-pin Ethernet connectors. IPX7 waterproof rated. Unused ports include waterproof caps for future expansion.
What It Does on the Water
The NEP2 connects up to five compatible displays and Ethernet modules on a single network, allowing you to share sonar data, StructureScan imaging, Broadband Radar or HD Digital Radar, and SiriusXM satellite weather across all connected displays. Advanced VHF radio band noise rejection keeps the network clean in environments with radio interference. The powered hub requires a 12V DC connection and is fully waterproof to IPX7 standards for reliable operation in the marine environment.
Note: the NEP2 uses 5-pin Ethernet connectors and is designed for HDS series and earlier Lowrance displays. If you are running newer Lowrance displays with standard Ethernet ports, see the NEP3 gigabit switch instead.
