RTS Gen 5 Mux System 3000TI: Professional ROV Multiplexer

The Industry-Standard Data Hub for High-End Subsea Survey & Inspection

Product Overview The RTS Gen 5 Mux System 3000TI is the predecessor to the Gen 6 and the most widely deployed high-end ROV multiplexer in the industry. Known for its "plug-and-play" reliability and modular architecture, the Gen 5 provides a robust interface for the simultaneous operation of multiple subsea sensors over a single-mode fiber. It is specifically engineered to handle the complex timing and data-intensive requirements of multibeam echosounders and inertial navigation systems (INS).

Housed in a signature 3,000-meter rated titanium bottle, the subsea unit acts as a versatile media converter. All channels are isolated and feature individual voltage and current monitoring, providing the protection and diagnostic data necessary for high-value survey spreads in the most demanding marine environments.

Why Choose the RTS Gen 5 3000TI?

• Inertial Navigation Optimized: Features a dedicated INS port with high-accuracy PPS/Pulse timing, making it the preferred choice for interfacing with systems like the Exail (Ixblue) ROVINS or Sonardyne SPRINT.
• Extreme Reliability: The titanium housing provides superior corrosion resistance and a high strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring 100% data integrity even during long-term deployments in harsh coastal or offshore waters.
• Low Latency Architecture: Unlike standard network converters, the Gen 5 is designed for zero-latency data transfer, which is critical for the real-time beamforming required by high-resolution multibeam sonars.
• C-WDM Fiber Technology: Utilizes Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (C-WDM) to offer the highest capacity for subsea data transfer, allowing up to eight media converter cards to run simultaneously on a single fiber.
• Advanced Diagnostics: The system provides real-time monitoring of ground faults (GFD), internal humidity, and temperature, allowing operators to identify potential cable or connector issues before they lead to data loss.
