Cable between DFF3D an computer with Timezero V3.

[Malo]

Hi
I have aquired a set (secondhand) computer with Timezero professiolal version 3, a DFF3D black box and the corresponding bronze transducer. I do not have the ethernet cable to be installed between the DFF3D and the computer with the Timezero program…
Now i wonder if a standard ethernet cable is ok to use or if I need a special cable from furuno?
(Extra card with ethernet connector is installed in the computer)
Regards
Thor

Thor,

I recommend using a Shielded CAT6 LAN Cable with Metal Connectors (don't use any LAN cable with plastic connectors). The DFF3D Multibeam is a very sensitive unit and you must combat any potential noise the best your can.

Ok. Thanks. What you say is that the wires are connected to the contacts in parallell as a normal LAN cable?
