2-12 SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision AA
Test SkyView Network Cable
SkyView displays are supplied with a test SkyView network cable that is intended for bench top
testing only. The test network cable is not built with aircraft-grade Tefzel® wiring and should
not be permanently installed in an aircraft.
Ethernet Connection
SkyView systems that have more than one display should have their Ethernet ports
permanently connected together. Though not a required connection, it allows aviation and
obstacle databases to be transferred to all displays in a SkyView system when they are loaded
on any one of them. If Ethernet is not connected, aviation and obstacle databases will need to
be loaded on each display in the system individually.
Future SkyView functionality may require Ethernet to be connected as described
in this section. Therefore, Dynon Avionics strongly recommends connecting all
Ethernet ports together at this time.
The Ethernet connection between SkyView displays is in addition to the 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
section for more information about what these lights indicate.
Available Cables and Harnesses
The following table contains Dynon Avionics 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.
