Both versions terminate at the stereo end with an RJ45 male plug.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is meant for installations where your Garmin side uses Garmin Marine Network cabling and your Fusion side expects RJ45. It is not a general-purpose Ethernet patch cable for standard network gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConverts a Garmin Marine Network connection to an RJ45 male plug for compatible Fusion stereos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo connector configurations to match common Garmin Marine Network connector styles (large male or small female)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo cable lengths depending on configuration: 6 ft (1.8 m) or 6 in (0.15 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsed to link GPSMAP series chartplotters with Garmin Marine Network ports to compatible Fusion stereos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cable is offered in multiple configurations so the Garmin Marine Network end matches the connector style already present on your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe connector size and gender on the Garmin side vary by part number, along with the cable length. The Fusion side remains an RJ45 male plug.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e010-12531-20: Configuration large male, 6 ft (1.8 m). This longer lead is suited to runs from a chartplotter or network switch area to the stereo mounting location.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e010-12531-21: Configuration small female, 6 in (0.15 m). This short jumper is useful where you only need a compact transition behind the helm or inside an electronics enclosure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan the route so the cable is supported and protected from chafe. Use cushioned clamps or cable ties with mounts, keep it clear of sharp edges, and avoid tight bends right behind the connectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring installation, keep the connector ends clean and dry, line them up before seating, and avoid forcing anything if the fit does not feel right. Leave a small service loop so the stereo can be pulled for service without straining the cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm two things before ordering: your Garmin side must be a Garmin Marine Network port that matches the variant connector (large male or small female), and your Fusion stereo must have an RJ45 network port. The variant choice is about physical fit at the Garmin end and how much length you need between devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a good match for boats with a Garmin GPSMAP setup that uses Garmin Marine Network and a Fusion stereo that needs an RJ45 network connection for system integration. It is commonly used on refits where a stereo is being added at the helm, or when a network layout needs a clean transition between connector styles without reworking existing cabling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Large Male","offer_id":52270729167029,"sku":"QBP277171-V1","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Small Female","offer_id":52270729199797,"sku":"QBP277171-V2","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1305422_qbp277171.webp?v=1771550664","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp277171","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
