{"product_id":"qbp326608","title":"Garmin BlueNet Network Cable, For BlueNet 20 Switch, BlueNet 30 Gateway","description":"\u003ch6\u003eOverview\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Garmin BlueNet Network Cable is the primary cable used to connect Garmin BlueNet devices to one another as part of a Garmin marine network. It is used for typical onboard electronics interconnects where devices share network data, such as linking a BlueNet chartplotter, network switch, gateway, radar, sonar module, or other BlueNet-enabled equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLengths span from short jumpers like 0.3 m (1 ft) and 2 m (6.5 ft) up through 6 m (20 ft), 12 m (40 ft), and 15 m (50 ft), plus a 150 m (500 ft) bulk spool for custom runs. For layout and routing, a single cable run should not exceed 87 m (285 ft), and if a coupler is used to extend a run, it should not include more than one coupler.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnects Garmin BlueNet devices using standard BlueNet network cable ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple length options from short 0.3 m (1 ft) jumpers to 15 m (50 ft) runs for bigger boats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-angle options available for installations where the port needs a low-profile connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBulk 150 m (500 ft) cable option for making custom lengths when standard sizes do not fit the route\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBulk cable must be terminated on both ends using field install connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlanning guidance for long runs: keep a single cable run at or under 87 m (285 ft)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cable family is offered in multiple configurations that mainly change cable length and connector orientation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard cables use straight connectors on both ends in common lengths. Right-angle versions place a 90-degree connector on one end to reduce bend radius and help when networking behind tight helm panels or electronics boxes. The 150 m (500 ft) bulk option is intended for custom-length installs and requires field install connectors to terminate the cable ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoute the cable like other low-voltage networking on a boat: keep it supported, avoid sharp edges, and leave enough service loop to unplug equipment without straining the connectors. On helm refits, the right-angle options are useful when the device is close to a bulkhead and a straight connector would force a tight bend right at the port.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you need to extend a run, plan the total distance carefully and keep the number of in-line extensions to a minimum. For custom routing on larger vessels, the bulk cable can be cut to the exact path, then terminated once both end locations are confirmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese cables are for Garmin devices that use Garmin BlueNet network ports. If your system includes legacy Garmin Marine Network equipment, it typically cannot be connected directly to a Garmin BlueNet chartplotter or a Garmin BlueNet 20 switch without the appropriate gateway or adapter solution, so confirm the network type at each device before ordering cable lengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a good match for boaters expanding a Garmin network where devices need to share data over the onboard Ethernet-style network and cable routing distance is the main constraint. It is also a practical pick for installers who want a cleaner helm layout using a right-angle connector where space behind displays and switches is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"20\"","offer_id":52270800109749,"sku":"QBP326608-V1","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1ft","offer_id":52270800142517,"sku":"QBP326608-V2","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500ft","offer_id":52270800175285,"sku":"QBP326608-V3","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6ft","offer_id":52270800208053,"sku":"QBP326608-V4","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8\" Right Angle","offer_id":52270800240821,"sku":"QBP326608-V5","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40ft","offer_id":52270800273589,"sku":"QBP326608-V6","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50ft Right Angle","offer_id":52270800306357,"sku":"QBP326608-V7","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"50 ft","offer_id":52270800339125,"sku":"QBP326608-V8","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1305933_qbp326608.jpg?v=1771551087","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp326608","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
