This Fusion shielded Ethernet cable gives you a solid 6.0 m run so you can park the Apollo MS-RA770 or SRX400 up front and keep the network switch a full 20 ft away where it suits your layout. RJ45 ends plug straight into standard Ethernet ports, so the stereo talks cleanly across the whole 6.0 m stretch without mucking around with adaptors.

A full-length shield wraps the internal pairs for the entire 20 ft, helping the signal hold up next to typical 12 V and 24 V wiring on Aussie boats. The outer jacket covers the whole 6.0 m run, giving the cable the backbone it needs when pulled through tight spaces. It is straightforward marine network gear with a known 6.0 m spec that makes planning your stereo setup simple.

Q: Can this Ethernet cable be cut and re-terminated to a shorter length?

It is intended to be used at the supplied 6.0 m length. Shortening a shielded cable can affect performance if the shielding and wiring are not re-terminated correctly. Most boat owners will get better results by routing the full 20 ft and securing any slack. If you need a very specific length, look at other factory-terminated options instead.

Q: Is this cable suitable for use outside the cabin or in wet areas?

It is not listed as a dedicated waterproof or submersible cable. On most boats this style of Ethernet cable is routed behind trim or through conduits where it stays dry. Splash zones and exposed decks usually need extra mechanical protection like conduit or cable trays. Keep the RJ45 plugs inside protected enclosures to avoid corrosion.

Q: Does this cable support network control of multiple Fusion Apollo stereos through a switch?

It can form one Ethernet link in a larger network that includes multiple devices. Each 6.0 m cable connects a single port on a stereo to a port on a network switch or router. Multiple stereos usually each have their own Ethernet run back to that central switch. Check your network hardware for port count and configuration limits.

Q: Can I use this cable with non-Fusion devices that have standard RJ45 Ethernet ports?

The cable uses a standard RJ45 Ethernet pin-out. Any device with a matching Ethernet port can physically connect to this cable. Actual compatibility depends on the network function and protocols of the connected gear. For most basic Ethernet links, the standard wiring and shielding are what you need.

Other Fusion shielded Ethernet cable lengths are available in the same range.

Use this RJ45 Ethernet cable to connect Fusion Apollo MS-RA770 and SRX400 marine stereos to an Ethernet network on board. The cable length of 6.0 m (20 ft) suits layouts where the stereo head unit and network switch or router are separated by several metres of cabling. Follow Fusion and vessel wiring standards for Ethernet network setup. No additional adaptors are specified when connecting to standard RJ45 Ethernet ports on compatible gear.
