# Manifold 5S Smart Switch The Manifold 5S includes an onboard Linux-based CPU that enables additional connectivity and features compared to the Manifold 5L: * Supports Cerulean Sonar SonarLink software * Supports Cerulean Sonar SonarView software * Adds two serial ports, one with optional CTS/RTS hardware handshake. * Adds two USB ports. * Adds two I2C ports. * The serial ports and USB ports have drivers to integrate the Cerulean S500C single beam echo sounder (SBES), Cerulean Sonar ROL Locator, Blue Robotics Ping2 SBES, generic GPS, and more. * Each serial or USB port can also be configured to forward incoming data via UDP packets. * Each serial or USB port can be also configured to replicate the port I/O via UDP over Ethernet, which is supported by 3rd-party port replicators. * The I2C ports can be configured to support one of the Blue Robotics BAR30, BAR02, and BAR100 pressure/temperature sensors, forwarding readings to an ArduSub device on the network via a MAVLink REST service. If used on a BlueROV, the Manifold 5S requires net zero penetrator holes in the main electronics enclosure by moving the BAR30 pressure sensor to the Manifold 5 and connecting the Manifold 5S to the ROV using the former BAR30 hole. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.ceruleansonar.com/c/manifold-5l-and-manifold-5s-ethernet-switch/manifold-5l-subsea-ethernet-hub/manifold-5s-smart-switch.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
