Furuno FAX30 External Black Box Weatherfax & Navtex Receiver
Furuno’s new FAX30 can turn any NavNet display or PC into a Weatherfax and Navtex receiver. This waterproof “Black Box” unit connects directly to a NavNet display or an Ethernet hub with a single Ethernet cable. If it is connected to an Ethernet hub that has multiple 10.4″ NavNet displays attached, each of those displays will have access to the FAX30. In addition, the FAX30 has the capability of being connected to a standard PC with Ethernet card.
The unit itself receives valuable weather images and navigational information. When connected to a 10.4″ NavNet display, the image and information is displayed directly on screen, with softkey menu options for ease of use. On a PC, the images and information are displayed by simply using your Web Browser. There is no complicated proprietary software to install or learn. You can even print all of the information using your PC and printer!
Combine the new FAX30 with NavNet’s true color Radar and you have the ultimate in weather tracking. Now you can navigate more safely even during uncertain conditions.
