Hello all,

We bought the Sirius Marine Weather receiver and needed a network switch to connect it to the E120 and the DSM300 via SeaTalk hs . The Raymarine SeaTalk hs network switch sells for $250. Ouch!

Decided to try a Dynex 5 port 10/100 ethernet network switch and it works fine. I understand it isn't built for the "marine enviroment" but it works. Bought two of them on eBay for $10.88 each, one for a spare.

Cheap unit specs:

* 5 port fast ethernet switch upgrades old networks to a 100 Mbps network for a high-speed networking solution
* Auto negotiation ports support auto MDI/MDIX function, allowing each port to operate as un uplink or general port
* Performs up to 200 Mbps/port in full-duplex dedicated bandwidth
* Complies with IEEE 802.3 10Base-T and IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX standards
* LED indicators allow you to monitor power, link and activity
* Store-and-forward transfer method
* Compact design takes up minimal space, reducing clutter; wall-mountable
* Plug-and-play installation
* 12 volt DC

I'm saving $250 and I'm sure Jeff is gonna be proud of me

What do you think?

Dennis,

"???" I think that the electronics you have on board are worth more than my entire boat. Now that I think of cost as "fractions of an ss check" I likely will continue using folding maps. Sure would like to have one of those big displays, tho..... Not likely that I can talk anybody into it, tho.....

Thank goodness beer is still cheap, or about 1/100 of a ss check per case.....

Standardized IP protocol allows for use of generic hardware. Did the same for a Furuno setup a few years back. Think I used a Netgear or Dlink switch. Cut off the wall wart and ran the wires to the battery.

IP has replaced serial in 2-way trunking communication these days. A Cisco managed switch from Ebay can run a multi-million dollar public safety backbone. It's really amazing how far we have advanced.

Heck Dennis!

Throw out that hub and get yourself a wireless router!

Then you can jack in your PC and browse the web from the Marina wireless.

Ok, then you will be able to monitor your electronics while sitting in the yacht club lounge...Hook up an internet camera and watch for FastJeff getting the gas for his tanks out of yours. :-)
