{"product_id":"qbp169387","title":"Vimar Idea RJ45 R\u0026M IBM Adaptor, For R\u0026M Freenet and IBM Type C","description":"\u003ch6\u003eOverview\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Vimar Idea 16365 is an RJ45 adaptor for R\u0026amp;M Freenet system and IBM Advanced Connectivity System Type C connectors within the IDEA modular range. It is used where a data connection needs to sit neatly in a switch or outlet position, with front label space that helps identify the run, outlet, or connected system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor boat interiors, this kind of adaptor makes sense at a navigation station, cabin communications point, helm console, or service panel where structured cabling is already part of the installation. The listed device depth is 21.0 mm on both variants, and the device height varies by colour, with 50.1 mm for the ivory version and 45.0 mm for the gray version.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is an adaptor rather than a complete data outlet, so the main fit check is the connector family already used in the vessel and the matching IDEA mounting system around it. The open front and the absence of a hinged lid keep the port easy to access for patching, inspection, and relabelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccepts RJ45 connector formats used in R\u0026amp;M Freenet system and IBM Advanced Connectivity System Type C installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade for the Vimar IDEA modular range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront label space helps identify cabin outlets, network runs, or onboard systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo hinged lid, so the connection point stays easy to reach and inspect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e21.0 mm device depth on both variants, which helps when panel space is limited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in two colour finishes to match surrounding trim and switchgear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis adaptor is offered in two colour configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe colour changes between variants. Both versions are RJ45 adaptors for the same R\u0026amp;M Freenet system and IBM Advanced Connectivity System Type C connector families, both include label space, both have no hinged lid, and both are listed with a 21.0 mm device depth. The listed device height differs between the two colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVM16365.C.B, Color: Ivory. This lighter finish suits interior panels and trim where the surrounding hardware is off-white or cream in tone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVM16365.C, Color: Gray. This darker finish blends more easily with gray switch frames, utility panels, and technical spaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore ordering, confirm that the RJ45 connector format in your installation matches R\u0026amp;M Freenet system or IBM Advanced Connectivity System Type C. It is also worth checking that the mounting position on the boat uses the IDEA series format and that the back box or panel depth is suitable for a 21.0 mm device body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis product is a good match for boats with structured data cabling in the cabin, chart table, or electronics console, especially where a clean panel finish and clear circuit identification matter as much as connector compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and use on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the front stays open and there is no lid, this adaptor is better suited to enclosed interior locations where the connection needs to stay accessible. It works well in places where crew or service technicians may need to patch a network lead, trace a cable run, or identify a connection quickly during refit and maintenance work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a tidy result, pair the adaptor with the correct surrounding module and keep the outlet label consistent with the vessel's network or systems map. That small detail saves time later when tracing data lines behind helm panels or cabin joinery.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vimar","offers":[{"title":"Ivory","offer_id":52370959532213,"sku":"QBP169387-V3","price":14.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gray","offer_id":52370959564981,"sku":"QBP169387-V8","price":14.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1315117_qbp169387.jpg?v=1774056687","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp169387","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
