data to the displays. The connection between displays and modules is referred to as SkyView
Network.
SkyView Network
SkyView displays, SkyView modules, and the SV-NET-HUB use Male DSUB 9-pin (henceforth
referred to as “D9M”) connectors. SkyView Network cables use Female DSUB 9-pin (henceforth
referred to as “D9F”) connectors. Servos have unterminated wires and we recommend the use
of one servo cabling kit (SV-NET-SERVO) per servo. All of this connection hardware is available
from Dynon Avionics.
Harnesses and Cables
Dynon Avionics SkyView harnesses and Skyview Network cables use aircraft-grade Tefzel®
wiring. The SV-HARNESS-D37 breaks out power, serial, USB and other important pins from the
back of the display. SkyView Network cables are available in a variety of lengths. The 3 and 6
foot cables have D9F connectors on both ends. The longer cables have a D9F connector on one
end and open pins on the other end. The open end allows installers to run the cable in and
through areas that would not be possible if a connector was present. The connector is installed
after the cable has been run.
The SV-NET-SERVO (one kit per servo) makes it easy to connect the SkyView system to Dynon
Avionics servos and includes 20 feet of pre-twisted wire (twisted pair 22 AWG wire for data; 20
AWG wires for power), D9 connectors, connector shells, crimp contacts, an insertion tool, heat
shrink, and zip ties. It is recommended that you read and understand Appendix C: Wiring and
Electrical Connections before working with this kit.
Splitter (SV-NET-SPL)
The SV-NET-SPL uses aircraft-grade Tefzel®
wiring, consist of a D9M input connector and
two D9F output connectors, with a length of 1
foot. The primary use for the SV-NET-SPL is the
connection of primary and backup ADAHRS in a
SkyView network from one network cable
coming from a display. For connecting multiple
SkyView modules from a SkyView Network
cable, using the SkyView Network Hub (SV-NET-
HUB) is recommended.
Note that SkyView systems installed prior to March 2012 are likely to have SV-NET-SPLs for all
SkyView network expansion needs. SkyView systems installed more recently are likely to have
fewer splitters (usually, just one at a dual ADAHRS installation), and one SV-NET-HUB.
In SkyView systems installed prior to March 2012, connector gender changers (SV-NET-CHG)
allowed SkyView network cables to connect to the output connector of a splitter. This allows a
cable split to occur in the middle of a long run of cable.
