4.1.1 SEAPIX ANTENNA UNIT (SAU) AND TRANSDUCER CABLE
The SAU has been installed on the vessel hull and the transducer cable (also called “subsea
cable”) has been connected to it. A cable gland has been used to tighten the transducer
when passing it through the hull.
The transducer cable insures the powering and the synchronization between the SAU and
the ITU, and the data communication between the SAU and the BFU - through the ITU.
