SkyView System Installation Guide - Dynon Avionics

System PlanningNote that customers that purchased SkyView systems prior to March 2012 are likely to havesplitters for all SkyView network expansion needs. More recent customers are likely to havefewer splitters (usually, just one at a dual ADARS installation), and one hub.Connector gender changers allow SkyView network cables to connect to the output connectorof a splitter. This allows a cable split to occur in the middle of a long run of cable.SkyView Network HubThe SV-NET-HUB SkyView Network hub contains 5 SkyView Network ports. All 5 ports areidentical. In other words, any of them can be used to connect to your displays, modules, and/orautopilot servos. Servo power should be broken out, as is normally done. See the AutopilotServo Installation section of this manual for more information about Servo wiring. The SkyViewNetwork Hub is designed to ease the distribution of SkyView Network connections to multipleSkyView Network components by allowing easy expansion of a SkyView network withoutrelying on a more expensive network of individual splitters. It also allows for fewer overallconnections over the splitter-only method that was primarily used prior to March 2012 as thehub-based method requires no gender changer connectors.Figure 3 - SV-NET-HUB SkyView Network Hub2-12 SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision O
