RTS Gen 6 Mux: Next-Generation Survey Multiplexer

Redefining Reliability and Performance for Modern Subsea Operations

Product Overview The RTS Gen 6 Mux is a state-of-the-art subsea survey multiplexer designed to handle the high-bandwidth data demands of modern ROV and USV operations. Building on 15 years of industry-leading success with the Gen 5, the Gen 6 is a ground-up redesign focused on improving reliability, diagnostic depth, and serviceability. It provides a robust, high-speed data hub for a wide array of sensors, including Multibeam Echosounders (MBES), Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), and 4K/HD-SDI video.

Housed in a compact titanium enclosure, the Gen 6 maintains the footprint of its predecessor while significantly expanding its channel count and power capacity. With its integrated web interface and advanced ground-fault detection, it serves as the central "nervous system" for complex subsea survey spreads.

Why Upgrade to the RTS Gen 6 Mux?

• Expanded Connectivity: Features 19 independent channels, including 3x HD-SDI video and 9x Ethernet ports as standard, providing ample headroom for the latest high-data-rate sensors.
• Intelligent Power Management: Equipped with software-resettable fuses and individual power monitoring on every channel. This allows operators to clear minor faults remotely without recovering the ROV.
• Integrated Diagnostics: Features advanced internal monitoring for ground faults, humidity, temperature, and water ingress, providing real-time health data via the topside unit or web browser.
• High-Speed Backbone: Built around an internal network switch with 8x 1000Mbit copper ports and a 2.5 Gbps backbone, ensuring zero-latency data transfer for bandwidth-heavy multibeam systems.
• Remote Web Interface: The system can be fully operated and diagnosed via a self-hosted web interface, allowing remote support teams to troubleshoot the unit from anywhere in the world.
