You will need an AS EC QDE adapter cable for each HELIX  ...  http://www.humminbird.com/Products/AS-EC-QDE/ (http://www.humminbird.com/Products/AS-EC-QDE/) 

You will need AS ETH 5XPG Ethernet switch  ...  http://www.humminbird.com/Products/AS-EC-QDE/ (http://www.humminbird.com/Products/AS-EC-QDE/) 

The AS ETH 5XPG requires 12v power so plan it's installation  ...   

Then you will need an Ethernet cable for each HELIX long enough to reach the AS ETH 5XPG switch  ...

The Ulterra iLink should come with an Ethernet cable that also connects to the AS ETH 5XPG switch   ...
