Right-angle power cable (Garmin GMR Fantom™ 5x/10x)

This right-angle power cable is specifically designed for Garmin GMR Fantom™ 5x and GMR Fantom™ 10x open-array radars. It ensures perfect electrical compatibility with these models.

The right-angle design of this cable is particularly useful for installations where wiring space is limited. It allows for cleaner cable routing and reduces stress on the radar connector, which can extend the connector's and cable's lifespan.

Yes, this Garmin power cable is fitted with a 15 A inline fuse holder. It is critical not to remove this fuse holder during installation, as it is essential for system safety and proper operation.

The power cable is designed to be connected to a 10 to 32 V DC power source, either directly to the boat’s battery or via a compatible Garmin voltage converter.

Yes, extension cords can be used with the power cable, but it is essential to follow Garmin's guidelines regarding the appropriate wire gauge for the extension length to avoid voltage drop. For example:

For a 3 m extension: 3.31 mm² (12 AWG) wireFor a 5 m extension: 5.26 mm² (10 AWG) wireFor a 6.5 m extension: 6.63 mm² (9 AWG) wireFor an 8 m extension: 8.36 mm² (8 AWG) wireCrimp connectors and heat-shrink tubing must be used for waterproof connections.

Yes, using generic power cables that do not meet Garmin’s precise specifications can void the warranty of your product. This original cable ensures compatibility and maintains the Garmin warranty.

The power cable should be connected directly to the boat's battery. If your Garmin Fantom radar model requires it, you can also connect it via a compatible Garmin voltage converter.

Some GMR Fantom™ radar models may require a voltage converter, while others can be connected directly to the battery. If your radar was supplied with a voltage converter, it is imperative to install it for the radar to function correctly. Do not use old-model Garmin or third-party voltage converters.

Yes, if you use a voltage converter, in addition to the 15 A fuse integrated into the radar’s power cable, a 30 A fuse holder must be installed between the voltage converter and the boat’s battery. Both fuses must be in place for correct operation.

To avoid interference with other equipment, it is recommended not to run power and network cables parallel to other cables, such as radio antenna lines or other power cables. If this is unavoidable, cables must be shielded with a metal conduit or some form of EMI shielding.

The main function of this cable is to provide a reliable and secure electrical connection between your power source (boat battery or Garmin voltage converter) and your Garmin GMR Fantom™ 5x or 10x radar, ensuring its proper operation.

Yes, as a Garmin original accessory designed for marine equipment, this cable is built to withstand harsh marine conditions, ensuring a durable and reliable connection.

No, it is imperative never to remove the 15 A inline fuse holder integrated into the power cable. Removing it could cause bodily injury, product damage from fire or overheating, and would void the product warranty.

Improperly sized or poorly connected power cable extensions can cause radar malfunctions due to insufficient power transmission. It is critical to follow Garmin's wire gauge recommendations for extensions.

No, the ground cable is not included with this power cable. The radar (and voltage converter, if applicable) must be connected to an appropriate seawater ground via a 3.31 mm² (12 AWG) copper wire.

If you need to drill a hole to run cables, it is crucial to apply marine sealant around the hole once the cables are in place to ensure a watertight seal. If decorative cable glands are used, they do not provide watertightness and also require the application of marine sealant.

This cable is specifically designed with connectors and electrical specifications (including the 15 A inline fuse) suited for Garmin GMR Fantom™ 5x and 10x radars. Cables for other Garmin radar models may have different connectors, wire gauges, or fuse requirements, making this cable incompatible with other series.

To achieve optimal performance and avoid potential damage to the device or your vessel, installation by a qualified marine technician is recommended. This ensures all specifications and safety measures are met.

Garmin strongly advises against reusing voltage converters from older Garmin radar models or using third-party voltage converters. Using any converter other than the one supplied with the radar (if applicable) or a properly purchased Garmin converter may damage the radar or prevent it from powering on.
