Humminbird 720074-12 AS EC QDE 12 Ethernet Adapter Cable, Black

Humminbird 720074-12 AS EC QDE 12 Ethernet Adapter Cable, Black is a 12-inch (1-foot) marine Ethernet adapter cable designed to convert Humminbird's proprietary quick-disconnect Ethernet port into a standard 8-pin threaded connection.

Note on Part Numbers: The standard single cable is sold as part number 720074-1. The product code ending in -12 (720074-12) historically specifies a bulk product designation or a commercial installer multi-pack, though many retailers sell individual 12-inch cables under both variations.

Key Specifications & Features

• Length: 12 inches (1 foot).
• Connectors: 5-pin quick-disconnect male connector to an 8-pin threaded female connector.
• Function: Acts as a "dongle" adapter. It allows you to link your fish finder to a standard Humminbird Ethernet Cable to share data across your marine network.
• Data Sharing: Once configured, it seamlessly transmits real-time sonar imaging (including Mega Live), waypoint maps, sharing coordinates, and GPS configurations.

Device Compatibility

This adapter cable is explicitly designed for the Humminbird HELIX series and select legacy HD units. It is not compatible with SOLIX or APEX series units, which utilize different internal network ports. Fully compatible models include:

• HELIX Series: All HELIX 8, HELIX 9, HELIX 10, HELIX 12, and HELIX 15 models.
• HELIX 7: Only G2N, G3N, and G4N networking-capable models.
• Legacy Models: 700 HD Series, 859, 899, 959, 999, 1159, and 1199 models.
• Network Accessories: Connects directly with Minn Kota i-Pilot Link trolling motors, One-Boat Network accessories, and Humminbird 5-Port Ethernet switches.

Critical Marine Networking Tip

If you intend to network two compatible fish finders directly together, the system will require two (2) AS EC QDE adapter cables (one for each head unit) plus one standard Humminbird Ethernet cable of appropriate length to run through your boat hull.
