Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for Side Imaging and Dual Beam use, so it is not a general-purpose splitter for every sonar setup.
- It is intended to let two transducers work on one unit, which means it is only useful if your system and transducers match that configuration.
- Using a splitter cable adds another connection point in the setup, so installation and cable management may be less straightforward than a single-transducer connection.
