I just bought a complete system for my sailboat and I'm in the process of installing it.
(es75 + ev200 AP+ i70s system pack)
I planned the connections and cables necessary but was surprised by the fact that the i70s display and the autopilot display only have ONE conection each. I always seem this type of displays with two conections to be dayse chained.
Long story short. I had to use one 5 way connector on the cockpit and another 5 way connector on the engine room. But I only have one SPUR cable left, long enough, to connect them.
Is this acceptable? Can I connect two 5 way connectors using only a spur cable?
I'm using the 3 white ports on the cockpit 5 way connector, 2 to the displays, one going down below. The 2 blue ports are plugged with terminators.
On the bellow deck 5 way connector I have all the ports being used.
I know the quick answer is go buy a backbone cable, but this things don't come by easy over here.
Thanks a lot!
