The Raymarine HS5 SeaTalkhs Network Switch is the
perfect choice for networking large multifunction display networks.
The HS5 features five high-speed RayNet network connections for
displays, scanners, thermal cameras, sonar modules and more. It's
engineered for high-bandwidth and premium performance. On larger
networks where 2 or more HS5s are required, its 5th port switches
automatically to Gigabit speed to allow for faster throughput of
network traffic between the switches.
Multi-station networking
SeaTalkhs data is quickly distributed to other SeaTalkhs equipment
using the HS5 switch. Information shared using the SeaTalkhs
network includes shared cartography (between compatible displays),
digital radar data and sonar data.
Multiple switches
Systems with more than 5 SeaTalkhs 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.
