SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision K 2-11
Network Hub is designed to ease the distribution of SkyView Network connections to multiple
SkyView Network components by allowing easy expansion of a SkyView network without
relying on a more expensive network of individual splitters. It also allows for fewer overall
connections over the splitter-only method that was primarily used prior to March 2012 as the
hub-based method requires no gender changer connectors.

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 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.
