RJ45 High speed Ethernet cable (From Processor Unit to Transceiver Unit)
One high capacity Ethernet cable connects the Processor Unit to the Transceiver Unit. An extra Ethernet cable can be installed for redundancy purposes. The cables can be ordered from Kongsberg Maritime, or provided by the installation shipyard.

We strongly recommend that minimum three Ethernet cables are installed between the sonar room and the bridge. Two cables are for operational use, while the others are spare.
The maximum length of each Ethernet cable from the Processor Unit to the Transceiver Unit is 100 meters.
Each end of the Ethernet cable must be terminated with a Phoenix Contact "Variosub RJ45 Quickcon" connector. Connectors and mounting instructions for are provided in the sonar delivery.

Minimum cable requirements
It is very important that high-quality Ethernet cables are used. You must use CAT-5E STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) quality or better. If you use cables with lower bandwidth capacity you will reduce the CS90 performance.
