Cyclops Marine smartlink² 5t – Wireless Load Sensor

The Cyclops Marine smartlink² 5t is a versatile and powerful wireless load sensor, designed for sportsboats, performance keelboats, and mid-sized race yachts. Capable of handling working loads up to 5 tonnes, it provides real-time load monitoring to help sailors optimise rigging tension, fine-tune sail trim, and prevent overloads. As part of the smartlink² v2 series, the 5t model benefits from extended battery life, advanced data streaming and logging, and seamless wireless integration with onboard and third-party sailing instruments.

Advanced Wireless Load Monitoring

Designed for mid-range load applications, the smartlink² 5t replaces a traditional soft link in running rigging, sheets, and high-load control lines. Whether on a fast sportsboat or a performance cruiser-racer, it delivers live load data, allowing sailors and riggers to make data-driven rig adjustments for maximum efficiency and safety.
