HS5 Network Switch

SeaTalk^hs data is quickly distributed to other SeaTalk^hs equipment using the HS5 switch. Information shared using the SeaTalk^hs network includes shared cartography (between compatible displays), digital radar data and sonar data.

Key Features

• 12V or 24V DC
• 5 port - Watertight RayNet connection
• 10Mbit/sec, 100Mbit/sec and 1000 Mbit/sec (5th port only) supported network speeds.
• Gigabit 5th port allows higher speed across switches should a 2nd switch be necessary.

Multiple Switches

Systems with more than 5 SeaTalk^hs devices require more than one network switch. Network switches can be connected together ("daisy-chaining") for this purpose.

The network switch provides a dedicated high-speed (1000 Mbit/S) port for connecting switches together while still retaining full data bandwidth throughout the system.

Each switch only has one high-speed port (port 5), so you can only connect up to 2 switches using the high-speed (1000 Mbit/S) connection. Any additional network switches must be connected together using a standard speed (100 Mbit/S) port.

Note: The maximum number of SeaTalk^hs devices that can be connected in any single system is 25.
