7.3. SplitBox for easy connection
The SplitBox is the easiest way to connect your Ekinox Subsea to various equipment without special
developments or cables. It provides standard Ethernet, SUB-D9 and SMA connectors for each available port.
There are two different SplitBox versions, one with an embedded high performance GNSS receiver so you
can easily input GNSS data to an Ekinox2-M or Ekinox2-U and an other version that just split all Ekinox
Subsea input and output ports to standard and easy to use connectors.
Note: Please check the SplitBox User Manual for more information about this product, and
additional product options.
