Description
The Fathom-X Tether Interface Board provides a high-speed, long-distance Ethernet connection to an ROV or other remote platform. They’re designed for use with the Fathom tether, standard Cat5 cable, or even a single twisted pair of wires. This board uses a HomePlug module, which leverages the robust HomePlug AV (IEEE-1901) standard for sending Ethernet through powerlines. It has the following features:
80 Mbps Ethernet over two wires (per our bandwidth testing)
300m+ tether length capability
Plug-and-play with no setup involved
Onboard switching power supply with a 7-28V input range
USB Mini-B connector for powering directly from a computer on the topside
Indicator LEDs for power, link, and data
Included 6″ Ethernet cable for connection to the onboard computer
With the Fathom-X the exact same board is used on each end of the tether. One on the ROV and one on the topside.
