The RNS-5 network switch is developed to extend integrated Raymarine chartplotter systems via high-speed RayNet Ethernet cables. It uses the RNS-5 to connect Axiom displays to radar, sounder modules, IP cameras, and Teledyne FLIR thermal imaging cameras. The RNS-5 also supports connection with Raymarine's YachtSense digital control systems and the YachtSense Link mobile router. Two RNS-5 switches can be cascaded to create larger systems. The RNS-5 is simple to install and does not require complicated configuration procedures.
