[CA] [CA11] Replace C120 Classic with E120 Classic?

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum mickklass,

E-Series Classic MFDs share the same footprint as do the corresponding C-Series Classic MFDs. E-Series Classic MFDs also share the same Power, NMEA 0183, and Analog Radar Cables with the C-Series Classic MFDs.
- The SeaTalk port of the E-Series Classic MFDs differs from that of the C-Series Classic MFDs, and as such, the SeaTalk Cable which is presently interfaced to the C-Series Classic MFD's SeaTalk port must be spliced to the SeaTalk/Alarm Cable of the E-Series Classic MFD.
- The SeaTalk2/NMEA 2000 port of the E-Series Classic MFDs differs from that of the C-Series Classic MFDs, and as such, the cable which is presently interfaced to the C-Series Classic MFD's SeaTalk2/NMEA 2000 port must be spliced to an A06061 E-Series Classic MFD to SeaTalkng Spur Cable.
- Unlike the C-Series Classic MFDs, the DSM30/300 will be interfaced to the E-Series Classic MFDs via Ethernet communications. Unlike the MFD designs which followed, E-Series Classic MFDs were not designed with autosensing Ethernet interfaces. As such, they cannot be interfaced directly to another compatible device having an Ethernet communications port via a single SeaTalkhs or Ethernet cable. Instead, the MFD may be interfaced to a DSM via one of the following methods:
----- a cable assembly constructed from a pair of SeaTalkhs to RJ45 (M) Cables which have been joined with a SeaTalkhs Crossover Coupler, SeaTalkhs Network Switch, or SR6 Sirius Satellite Weather Receiver / Network Switch
----- a pair of cable assemblies which have been constructed from an A80272 RayNet (M) to SeaTalkhs (M) Adapter and RayNet (F) to RayNet (F) Cable which have been joined to a HS5 RayNet Network Switch
