SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision R 2-15

The Ethernet connection between SkyView displays is made in addition to the 9 pin SkyView

Network connections, and should be connected on a permanent basis like other SkyView

wiring. Dynon Avionics strongly recommends “Low Smoke Zero Halogen” Ethernet cables for

use in aircraft, but any Ethernet cable – whether it is a “crossover” or normal “straight” type

Ethernet cable - will technically work. Low Smoke Zero Halogen Ethernet cables are available

from Dynon Avionics (SV-ETHERNET-3CC). Aircraft containing more than two SkyView displays

will need an Ethernet switch with enough ports to connect all SkyView displays together.

Contact Dynon Avionics for Ethernet switch recommendations if your aircraft has more than

two displays.

There are indicator lights on the Ethernet port that are usually indicative of data

transfer on traditional Ethernet devices. In SkyView, they are used instead for

display troubleshooting purposes. See the Maintenance and Troubleshooting

chapter for more information about what these lights indicate.

Available Cables and Harnesses

The following table contains Dynon part numbers and descriptions for the components that will

typically be used to test and build a SkyView system. Note: network cables with the “CP” suffix

include the second connector—it just is not installed on the cable to facilitate easy routing

through tight areas of an aircraft.
