Does anyone know what each of the wires in these new transducers are for? Looks like it's 4 twisted pair plus ground. Would it be possible to use fewer wires if all you wanted was the mega SI (1200 khz) sonar? Or is it a "smart" transducer using ethernet to communicate with the control unit?

i would guess one for each SI sides one for DI and one for 2D but i am no expert . :-[

MEGA Helix xducers would be 2d, DI, left SI, right SI, temp and a common ground ...
MEGA SOLIX xducers have a dedicated ground per channel and XID ...
Removing wires without capability to shut off transmitters for non-used piezoes could potentially damage those transmitters ...
SOLIX does have some control to shut off individual transmitters - HELIX is all or none ...

Point taken.
