Cablu adaptor mufă 4 pini/ștecher 5 pini NMEA 2000®

This adapter cable is designed to connect specific Garmin devices, equipped with a 4-pin female connector, to a standard NMEA 2000® network that uses a 5-pin male connector. It enables the integration of these devices into the network and the exchange of marine data.

The Garmin 010-12445-10 adapter cable has a length of 2 meters, which is approximately 6 feet.

This cable is specifically compatible with Garmin echoMAP™ CHIRP 5-inch and ECHOMAP Plus chartplotter/fishfinder combos. It is designed for these models to interface with a NMEA 2000® network.

No, this is not a standard NMEA 2000® cable like a Backbone or Drop cable. It is a specific adapter cable that converts a 4-pin Garmin connector into a 5-pin male NMEA 2000® connector.

Some Garmin devices, particularly the echoMAP™ CHIRP 5-inch and ECHOMAP Plus series, use a 4-pin pinout for their data port. The NMEA 2000® network uses a 5-pin standard. This adapter cable bridges this pinout difference, enabling connection and communication between your Garmin device and the NMEA 2000® network.

Yes, if your chartplotter is a compatible model (echoMAP™ CHIRP 5-inch or ECHOMAP Plus) and you want to connect it to an NMEA 2000® network that already has sensors connected, this cable will enable data exchange between your chartplotter and those sensors via the network.

For installation, connect the 4-pin female end of the cable to your compatible Garmin device (echoMAP™ CHIRP 5-inch chartplotter or ECHOMAP Plus). Then, connect the 5-pin male end of the cable to an available port on your existing NMEA 2000® network.

Yes, once connected via this adapter cable, your Garmin device will be able to exchange data with other instruments connected to the NMEA 2000® network. This includes receiving and sending information supported by the NMEA 2000® protocol.

No, this adapter cable is specifically designed for 5-inch echoMAP™ CHIRP chartplotter/fishfinder combos and ECHOMAP Plus combos. It is not suitable for compatibility with the GPSMAP® series.

Yes, once this adapter cable is connected to your Garmin device and it has the male 5-pin NMEA 2000® connector, you can connect it to a standard NMEA 2000® cable (such as a drop cable or T-connector) to integrate it into your network and extend it if needed.

Yes, like all Garmin marine connectivity accessories, this cable is designed to withstand typical marine environment conditions, including humidity and temperature variations, ensuring a reliable connection.

This cable is specifically listed as compatible with 5-inch echoMAP™ CHIRP chartplotter/fishfinder combos and ECHOMAP Plus combos. Compatibility with older echoMAP™ models (non-CHIRP or Plus) is not guaranteed by this specification.

The 4-pin female end of the cable plugs into the corresponding data port (usually a transducer or communication port) of compatible Garmin devices, such as the echoMAP™ CHIRP 5-inch chartplotter/fishfinder and ECHOMAP Plus.

Yes, the part number 010-12445-10 indicates that this is a genuine Garmin adapter cable, designed and manufactured by Garmin for its marine equipment.

No, the primary function of this cable is to adapt a specific Garmin device to an NMEA 2000® network. It is not designed for a direct point-to-point connection between two Garmin devices without the NMEA 2000® network as an intermediary.

NMEA 2000® is a standardized communication protocol used in marine electronic systems. It allows different devices (chartplotters, depth sounders, radars, engines, sensors) to share data over a single network, simplifying integration and information exchange.

Once the cable is physically connected, your Garmin device should detect the NMEA 2000® network and connected devices. Settings may be required in your chartplotter’s menus to display or use specific data from the network, but the physical connection via the cable does not require complex software configuration specific to the adapter.

This cable is specifically designed to adapt certain Garmin devices (with 4-pin connector) to a NMEA 2000® network. Although the NMEA 2000® network is an inter-brand standard, the 4-pin end is proprietary to Garmin and will not work with devices from other brands.

Garmin NMEA 2000® cables, including this adapter, are typically designed with adequate shielding to minimize common electromagnetic interference in a marine environment, ensuring reliable data transmission.

The 5-pin male connector is the standard NMEA 2000® interface. It allows you to connect the cable directly to a T-connector or another connection point on an existing NMEA 2000® network, thereby integrating the Garmin device into the network.
