IO Connection

Advanced Navigation offers two pre-terminated IO breakout cables (one for the 8 pin connector and one for the 16 pin connector) for quick connection to Certus. All external signal and power connections are 2m long. The evaluation IO breakout cables are supplied as part of the Certus Evaluation Kit. See Rugged Evaluation Kit.

Custom cable lengths are not available for pre-terminated cables.

Note: Both the connectors have a power supply connection. Only one of these power supplies should be connected. Connecting two different power supplies could result in damage to the unit.
