# Manifold 5L Subsea Ethernet Hub

The Cerulean Sonar Manifold 5L Switch and Cerulean Sonar Manifold 5S Smart Switch constitute a family of subsea five-port 300-meter pressure-rated Power-over-Ethernet  (POE) switches designed for use on Remotely-Operated Vehicles (ROV), Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV), and tethered underwater instrumentation packages. 

The Manifold 5L is a basic 5-port 10/100 Ethernet switch with Power-Over-Ethernet support.

The Manifold 5S is a 5-port Ethernet switch with one ethernet port used for a Brain that enables smart ports for serial, USB, and I2C devices.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The Manifold 5S is not available for individual sale at this time.
{% endhint %}

Either variant can optionally have a tether interface installed. When installed, the tether interface consumes one Ethernet port.
