More and more boats now have a wireless router fitted or utilise devices like Digital Yacht’s 4G Connect for internet connectivity. For optimum data transfer speed, a wired Ethernet connection still offers the fastest and most reliable network connection onboard a boat and for Streaming TV, VOIP, Security Cameras and other data intensive services we always recommend using a wired connection.
The NS5 Network Switch provides a simple and rugged solution to increasing the number of wired Ethernet connections on the vessel. Designed to operate from a 9v to 36v DC supply, with dual redundancy power supply design, a DIN rail mount and five RJ45 10/100 Ethernet ports, the NS5 allows anybody to reliably expand the boat’s Ethernet network.
Installation could not be easier, simply connect one of the NS5’s RJ45 sockets to a LAN socket onto a 4GConnect or 4GXtream routers, using a normal network cable and wire the NS5 directly to the boat’s 12v or 24v DC supply. The 4G router will continue to provide IP addresses to any device plugged in to the NS5 (via DHCP) and the status of all the Ethernet connections can be seen by the flashing Yellow and Green LEDs on each of the NS5’s ports.
