    Ipilot Link

    I am trying to connect my ultrex with Ipilot link to my helix 10 G3. The port on the unit has the cable to connect the unit at the console. (way point sharing) Is there a way to connect all this together with out purchasing a 5 port Ethernet hub?

    should be able to run the ethernet extension cable that comes with the i pilot link straight to the back of the unit with the ethernet cable adapter.

    This connects to the helix ethernet port https://humminbird.johnsonoutdoors.c...-adapter-cable

    You only need the 5 port ehternet switch if you are trying to connect more than 2 ethernet devices.

    No
    An Ethernet cable has two ends.
    You are already using both ends to share date between units.
    If you want LINK connected also, that takes the AS ETH 5PXG Ethernet Switch and another Ethernet cable.
    The two displays and LINK would connect to the Switch.

    Yeah, but when you tap your Fitbit to read a text your Ultrex will throw you over the side!
