Description
The FXTI provides a simple but flexible topside enclosure for interfacing the BlueROV2 with a computer. It contains a USB to Ethernet converter and a Fathom-X board and offers plenty of expansion options!
The Fathom-X Tether Interface (or FXTI) is a simple and expandable topside enclosure to interface with the BlueROV2 and other devices that use HomePlug communication technology. The FXTI has a USB-B connection on one side and a Binder 770 connector on the other. The USB connection provides power to the box and is internally connected to a USB to Ethernet adapter connected to a Fathom-X tether interface board. The interface board is connected to the Binder 770 connector for a clean connection to the tether!
This product works great as a clean connection from the computer to the tether, but it is designed to be highly expandable for other applications. The Binder 770 connector has leads for all 8 wires, providing full support for both the slim and regular Fathom tethers. Those leads are reconfigurable within the box, so you can quickly use an extra twisted pair from the tether for the Water Linked Analog Locator or any RS485 device.
