Simrad EK80 Installation Manual
Cable Type
C33** Transducer cable
The transducer cable is provided with the transducer. The transducer cable enters
the Power Supply Unit through the cable gland at the bottom of the cabinet. The
transducer cable is 40 metres long. The cable can not be extended. The cable can
be cut to match the installation requirements. Make sure that the cable length is
minimum 15 metres.
Comments
• 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 EK80 performance. Do not connect the Processor Unit to
the Wide Band Transceiver (WBT) using an existing local area network (LAN).
• The grounding cable for the WBT Cabinet is not listed. The grounding cable is a
special braided wire that is physically connected to the cabinet. It is connected to
vessel ground by means of the cabinet's shock absorbers.
• More than one serial line cable may be required to connect the Processor Unit to
external devices. To identify these cables, use postfix letters. (C10A, C10B, C10C...).
• The EK80 is often a part of a project delivery. For such deliveries, specific project
cable drawings are established to show all the main cables, and how the various
products are connected. In such project cable drawings, the EK80 cables may be
identified as
