Description

Product Description

Convenient for Wiring

Connect two or one wires between each module of L to L, N to N. It is unnecessary to be two-wire, only L/N to LN with one wire works fine. Also, it is not necessary to connect L and N wires with power. Even only cable no power also can communicate well. If you need a long-distance power supply, Power through L and N can deliver power and ethernet at the same time. Supply power for each board with a 12V input to the small terminal block. When connecting an Ethernet cable, the connection should become active immediately.

Widely Used 

This module can be a part of the ROV electronics package and works well in conjunction with the Raspberry Pi, Pixhawk, and ArduSub control software , which brings convenience to long-distance power transmission and long-distance cable communication. It is a good choice for underwater robot cable communication.
