Some how I have my GPS from the GPS unit to my router. Which is then split via two routers one below and one above to 4 VX2's. All 4 units are tied into the router's and share data between each other including radar, gps, depth, camera etc. The router are connected by a braided cat 5 shielded etc.
My mistake is that if say the gps goes bad.. Which just happen to me all gps was lost. So now I am going to split the systems into port and starboard. Two gps, two vx2's on each side, two depths etc. On my other post was looking into sharing the PA speaker, AIS via router from the VHF radio.. just to eliminate additional wiring. I am also looking into upgrade the Furuno systems. They have worked extremely well.
Any thoughts on the colors of the Ethernet into and out of the router to tie the VHF Ais, Pa, Fog Horn? Reasoning is wiring to the external speaker.
