SPLITBOXUM.1.2
1. Introduction
The SplitBox from SBG Systems is a complementary accessory of the Ekinox and Apogee series. It provides
a simplified interface with standard connectors to ease both the setup and integration. It replaces the 19
pins Fisher Connectors of the Ekinox and Apogee by standards M-12, SMA, and DB-9 connectors
corresponding to each port.
The front face of the box gives access to the standard connectors, while the back face is connected directly
to the Ekinox or the Apogee using 5 meters cables.
1.1. SplitBox Versions
The SplitBox comes in different versions to meet all customer requirements. This manual is common for all
