    360 to helix connect with link?

    I’m replacing two 998’s with two helix units. One at bow and one at console. I’m also adding non mega 360 to bow. Since 360 connects to Ethernet port how will I link the two helix’s? Is there an Ethernet splitter cable? Or do I need to get the 5 port Ethernet box? And still how would it connect with the bow unit hooked to 360? Thanks I hope this is simple solution

    For three Ethernet connections, you need the AS ETH 5PXG Ethernet Switch.
    Both displays and the 360 would connect directly to the Switch.

    The 360 comes with a 20' Ethernet cable, you need two more Ethernet cables and two AS EC QDE Ethernet Adapters for the displays.

    If you were using Mega 360 you would not need the switch because it is not directly network connected. You would only have two network devices that you could connect together without a switch. So if Mega is still on the table this could be an option. Of course you need specific Helix units for this to work and you don't specify which you are using.
