[CA] [CA11] Can an HS5 switch be connected like this?

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Ingvar,

Q. I would very much appreciate if you could have a look at the attached diagram and
let me know if it will work.
A. Negative. Only products which feature an Ethernet communications interface may be interfaced to a HS5 RayNet Network Switch. Accordingly, the iTC-5, i70, and i60 would not be interfaced to the HS5 RayNet Network Switch. In the case of the equipment shown, each MFD and the Quantum Radar Cable (or Digital Radar Cable (recommended) would be in interfaced to the HS5 RayNet Network Switch. A powered and properly terminated SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 backbone will be constructed and will include the iTC-5 as as a backbone component. The backbone will include a sufficient number of spur sockets to accommodate a SeaTalkng Power Cable, the i60 instrument, i70 instrument, and the MFD which will be designated as the system's Data Master MFD to each be interfaced as an individual spur.
