Product overview

The Raymarine RNS-8 Ethernet network switch enables you to connect and share data between multiple devices featuring a RayNet connector (or RJ45 / SeaTalk HS connector, connected via adapter cables), at up to speeds of one Gigabit per second. The switch also provides 4 Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports, each allowing both power and data to be shared across a single cable to a PoE-compatible device.

Product overview

The network switch has the following key features:

• 8x Ethernet ports (4x PoE ports, each supporting up to 30 W PoE, Classes 0 to 4), using waterproof RayNet connectors.

• Ability to mix a combination of PoE and non-PoE devices simultaneously, for a total of 8 devices (maximum PoE devices = 4; maximum non-PoE devices = 8).

• Each port can transfer data at the following speeds: 10 / 100 / 1000 Mbits/s.

• Multiple switches can be connected together in a “daisy chain” for expanded systems.

• Rugged enclosure — waterproof to IPx6, IPx7 standard.

• Ignition protection to EN ISO 8846:2017 standard.

• Status and speed LED indicators for each port.

• Compatible with devices featuring any of the following connectors:

  • RayNet.

  • RJ45 (SeaTalk HS), via adapter cables (available separately).

  • RJ45, via adapter cables (available separately).

• Examples of Ethernet devices that can be networked together include:

  • Radar scanner.

  • Sonar module.

  • Thermal camera.

  • Multifunction display (MFD) / chartplotter.
