It accepts 10 to 32 Vdc power (fits 12V and 24V systems) and uses a 2 A fuse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is built for Garmin BlueNet devices only. If your boat also has legacy Garmin Marine Network devices, they do not connect directly to this switch; a Garmin BlueNet 30 gateway is used when both network types need to communicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe housing measures 293.3 x 72 x 112.6 mm and is rated IPX7 for incidental water exposure. It is meant to be mounted where it will not be submerged, such as inside a console or an electronics locker with normal ventilation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpands a Garmin BlueNet network when the available ports on your chartplotter are already in use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks only with Garmin BlueNet devices; legacy Garmin Marine Network devices require a Garmin BlueNet 30 gateway to communicate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 to 32 Vdc input for 12V\/24V power systems, with a 2 A fuse and 3.6 W max power usage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNetwork link indicators support 10\/100 Mbps and 1,000 Mbps connections and flash with data activity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIPX7 water rating for incidental splashes; intended for mounting where it will not be submerged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolycarbonate plastic and die-cast aluminum construction with a 10 cm compass-safe distance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat’s included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGarmin BlueNet 20 Switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGarmin BlueNet network cable (2 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDocumentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eMount the switch with room to route and connect the network cables, and leave space for airflow so heat does not build up. A little separation from other wiring helps reduce interference, and an optional grounding screw is available if you need to bond the unit to the boat’s water ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower is brought in through the included cable. In typical installs, the positive feed is run through the ignition or another manual switch so the network can be shut down when you are off the boat, since the unit can continue to draw power if it is left connected directly to the battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and network planning\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eGarmin BlueNet network cables use small connectors that resemble NMEA 2000 connectors, but they are not the same cable type and they are not interchangeable. Connect only Garmin BlueNet network devices to the switch ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your system uses a Garmin BlueNet 30 gateway to bridge to legacy Garmin Marine Network devices, the gateway connects to a single interconnected BlueNet segment (a chartplotter with multiple BlueNet ports or this switch). This helps keep the BlueNet side organized as you add more modules over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis switch is a practical fit when you are adding more BlueNet-capable gear and your existing BlueNet ports are already spoken for, such as on multi-display helms or builds that include radar or other networked electronics. It is also helpful on refits where you want a clean, centralized place to land multiple BlueNet runs inside the console.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eStatus lights and basic troubleshooting\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eA status LED shows the unit’s operating state, and the network LEDs indicate link speed and activity. If you are tracking down a dead device on the network, the per-port LEDs make it easier to spot a disconnected cable, a powered-off device, or a link that is not coming up.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269657555125,"sku":"QBP232358","price":349.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1300731_qbp232358.webp?v=1771545089","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp232358","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
