RNS-8 Network Switch
The Raymarine RNS-8 Network Switch has been designed for more extensive networks, to allow the Axiom displays to be integrated with radars, sonar modules and FLIR thermal cameras. The RNS-8 features 4 dedicated Power-Over-Ethernet (POE) ports for integrating and powering POE-compatible devices like CAM300, a marine IP camera and RMK-10 remote keypads.
To ensure there is a seamless connection between the Axiom and RNS-8 network switch, we highly recommend you upgrade any connected Axiom chartplotter to the latest LightHouse 4.5 operating system.

NETWORK
Network connection ports - 4 x RayNet connection ports (10/100/1000 Mbits/s)
Network connection ports - 4 x PoE RayNet connection ports (10/100/1000 Mbits/s). Each of the 4 ports supports PoE classes 0 to 4, with 30 W maximum power available for each port.
Note:
- You can mix a combination of PoE and non-PoE devices simultaneously, for a total of 8 devices (maximum PoE devices = 4; maximum non-PoE dvices = 8).
- In order to sufficiently power PoE devices, the network switch's power supply must exceed 10.8 V dc.
IEEE Standard - Conforms to IEEE 802.3at
