Zestaw adapterów do montażu na miejscu dla sieci BlueNet™ firmy Garmin

The Garmin BlueNet™ on-site installable adapter kit (part number 010-12528-20) is a set of components designed to allow users to create custom-length Garmin BlueNet network cables. It provides flexibility to precisely adapt the wiring to the specific requirements of each marine installation, helping to optimize routing and avoid excess cable.

This kit is primarily used to make custom Garmin BlueNet network cables. It allows you to adjust cable lengths to the exact needs of your marine installation, which is useful for connecting Garmin BlueNet devices to each other or to other compatible devices, such as IP cameras, while optimizing cable management on board.

The 010-12528-20 adapter kit includes the following components:

Two sets of RJ45 crimp connectors with waterproof housings. Two adapters designed to connect terminated RJ45 connectors to Garmin BlueNet devices.

The Garmin BlueNet™ network is an evolution of the existing Garmin marine network, offering connection speeds up to 1 Gbps. This capacity is crucial for handling multiple video streams, high resolutions, and the integration of advanced sensors and devices. It also stands out for its simple configuration and extended compatibility.

To install the adapter kit and create a custom cable, you will need the following tools:

A Garmin BlueNet bulk Ethernet cable (sold separately, part number 010-12528-12). Wire cutters. An Ethernet stripping tool or utility knife. An RJ45 crimping tool. A 15 mm wrench.

No, the Garmin BlueNet™ bulk network cable is not included in the 010-12528-20 adapter kit. You must purchase it separately. The bulk cable part number is 010-12528-12.

Before adding the RJ45 connectors, you must first route the unfinished bulk Ethernet cable through your boat to the locations of the Garmin BlueNet™ devices to be connected. Then, cleanly cut the Ethernet cable to the required length using wire cutters.

You must strip approximately 16 mm (5/8 inch) of the jacket from the cut end of the Ethernet cable using an Ethernet stripping tool or a utility knife.

Wires must be arranged in a specific order before being inserted. There are two wiring diagrams, one for each side of the cable:

Side A: White/Green, Green, White/Orange, Blue, White/Blue, Orange, White/Brown, Brown.
Side B: White/Orange, Orange, White/Green, White/Brown, Brown, Green, Blue, White/Blue.
After arranging the wires, trim them to a uniform length, leaving approximately 14 mm (9/16 inch) from the edge of the jacket.

Once the wires are arranged in the correct order, insert them into the RJ45 connector until their ends touch the bottom. Check that the wires are in the correct order. If a wire is not in the right position, remove the connector, rearrange the wires, and reinsert them. Then use an RJ45 crimping tool to firmly crimp the connector onto the wires.

Yes, after inserting the crimped connector into the cable’s connection housing and securing it firmly, you must screw on the strain relief nut onto the housing. Tighten it using a 15 mm wrench, but do not overtighten.

After installing the RJ45 connectors on both ends (Side A and Side B) of your custom Ethernet cable, connect one of the included Garmin BlueNet™ network adapters to the first connector of the cable and tighten the locking ring. Repeat this step for the other end of the cable with the second adapter. Your custom Garmin BlueNet™ network cable is then ready to be connected to devices.

During drilling, cutting, or sanding operations, it is important to always wear safety goggles, hearing protection, and a dust mask to prevent bodily injury. Additionally, before drilling or cutting, always check what is on the other side of the surface to avoid damaging your boat.

The BlueNet™ network is compatible with a wide range of Garmin devices, including GPSMAP 90xx Series chartplotters and xHD3 radars. It is designed for seamless integration with these systems, enabling fast and efficient data transfers.

Yes, the Garmin BlueNet™ network is designed to support third-party devices, including IP cameras, without requiring a specific adapter. This makes it easier to integrate various technologies into your marine navigation system.

The Garmin BlueNet™ network cable bulk reference you must purchase separately to use this adapter kit is 010-12528-12.

Yes, the Garmin BlueNet™ network represents an evolution over the existing Garmin marine network. It provides higher connection speeds, up to 1 Gbps, which is essential for handling larger data streams, high-resolution video, and integration of more advanced devices.

Yes, one of the main advantages of this adapter kit is that it allows for increased flexibility compared to pre-assembled network cables. By creating custom-length cables, users can precisely adapt the wiring to the specifics of their marine installation, optimizing routing and avoiding excess cable in complex configurations.

After stripping the cable, the drain wire should be cut to approximately 14 mm (9/16 inch) and folded back over the jacket. The supplied copper tape is then wrapped around the drain wire and the jacket. This aids grounding and protection against electromagnetic interference, and helps pre-form the end of the jacket for insertion into the connector.
