Raymarine e7D, Installation And Operation Handbook, Page: 35 / 270

4.4 Network connections
You can connect a number of digital devices to your multifunction display using the Network connector(s) at the rear of the unit.
A typical network of digital devices may include:
• Up to 6 Raymarine multifunction displays.
• SeaTalk hs or RayNet digital devices such as a Digital Sounder Module (DSM) or radar scanner.
• Thermal camera.
Note: The display includes either 1 (e7 / e7D only) or 2 network connectors, networks requiring additional connections will require a
Raymarine network switch. This is a hub used for connecting multiple devices.

devices to smaller
systems where a switch
is not required. Also
enables the connection
of SeaTalk
hs devices
to an HS5 SeaTalk hs
network switch (in
conjunction with a
RayNet to RJ45 cable).
Network cable connector types
There are 2 types of network cable connector — SeaTalk hs and
RayNet.
SeaTalk hs connector — used for connecting
SeaTalk hs devices to a Raymarine network switch
via SeaTalk hs cables.
RayNet connector — used for connecting
Raymarine network switches and SeaTalk hs
devices to the multifunction display via RayNet
cables. Also required for connecting a crossover
coupler if only one device is being connected to
the display’s Network connector.
Network cable types
There are 2 types of SeaTalk hs network cable — “patch” and
“network”.
• Patch — for connecting the following devices to a Raymarine
network switch:
– Thermal camera via PoE injector.
– Additional Raymarine network switch.
– PC or laptop using Voyager planning software.
• Network — for connecting the following devices to a Raymarine
network switch:
– Digital Sounder Module (DSM) sonar.
– SR100 Sirius weather receiver.
– Additional compatible Raymarine multifunction displays.
