Overview
The Simrad 000-0127-56 is an Ethernet adapter cable that converts a Simrad yellow 5-pin Ethernet plug (male) to a standard RJ45 Ethernet port (female) in a 2 m (6.5 ft) lead.
It is commonly used when integrating a WM-2 Weather Module with an NSE series display, where the system side uses the yellow 5-pin Simrad Ethernet connection but the accessory side needs an RJ45 interface.
On a boat, this is the kind of small part that prevents a network install from turning into a connector mismatch: it gives you an RJ45 handoff while keeping the Simrad yellow Ethernet connection at the other end.
Key features
- Yellow 5-pin Simrad Ethernet connector (male) to RJ45 connector (female)
- 2 m (6.5 ft) overall length for reaching between helm electronics bays, consoles, and equipment shelves
- Adds an RJ45 connection point to Simrad Ethernet networks without changing your device mounting location
- Used for connecting a WM-2 Weather Module to an NSE series unit where an RJ45 interface is required
Compatibility and fit
The yellow 5-pin end is for Simrad Ethernet ports that use the yellow 5-pin connector style. The RJ45 female end accepts a standard RJ45 male plug from an Ethernet lead, which is helpful when an accessory or intermediate cable terminates in RJ45.
Before ordering, confirm the network side on your boat is the yellow 5-pin Simrad Ethernet connection (not NMEA 2000 and not a bare RJ45 jack). This cable is an adapter, not a network switch or hub.
Installation and setup
Plug the yellow 5-pin connector into the Simrad Ethernet port, then connect the RJ45 male plug from your Ethernet lead or accessory into the RJ45 female end. Route the cable so it is supported and cannot flop with vibration, and leave enough slack to avoid pulling on connectors when you service equipment.
In wet lockers or open helm areas, keep the RJ45 side protected from spray and drips and avoid leaving the connection hanging where water can track along the cable into the plug.
Use cases on board
This adapter makes sense for boats that already have Simrad yellow Ethernet in place but need an RJ45 interface for a specific connection. It is a straightforward fit for helm refits where a WM-2 module is being added to an NSE-series system and the cabling ends do not match.
