4.1.2 TRANSDUCER CABLE AND INTERFACE UNIT (ITU)
Once connected to the SAU, passed through the hull and tightened by a cable gland, the
transducer cable has been connected to the Interface Unit (ITU).
Location
The ITU is installed either in a dedicated sonar room or into a technical room, fairly close to
the SAU (transducer cable length = 20 m).
The connectors are located at the back of the ITU:
