FURUNO HUB-100 Switching Hub

The FURUNO HUB-100 Switching Hub is a compact, robust Ethernet networking device engineered specifically for use in demanding marine and industrial applications, particularly within Furuno navigation systems like the FAR-2117/2817 series radars and the ECDIS FEA-2107 series. This eight-port hub provides essential high-speed data switching (100BASE-TX/10BASE-T) for interconnecting various components—such as multiple control units and a memory card interface—into a unified onboard network. Built with a durable, rugged housing that is resistant to shock and vibration, the HUB-100 is designed to ensure reliable, uninterrupted communication and operational efficiency in challenging environments. The unit is designed for simple operation, requiring only an AC power source to function, with status LEDs to monitor link and transmission mode.
