Overview
The Garmin 010-12234-06 is a 10 m user data sharing cable for connecting compatible Garmin displays so they can exchange saved user data like waypoints and routes.
It ties into the data conductors on each unit’s power and data harness, which is useful when the displays are mounted too far apart for the short lead wires to reach. Once connected and enabled in the menus on both units, updates you make on one screen can be shared to the other over the wired link.
Key features
- 10 m (about 33 ft) cable length for helm to bow layouts, dual stations, and wider console runs
- Shares user data like waypoints and routes between compatible Garmin displays
- Connects through the user data wires in each unit’s power and data cable (commonly the blue and brown conductors on supported harnesses)
- Wired point to point link that works without swapping cards or moving files between units
- Both devices must be tied to the same DC ground on the boat for stable data sharing
- Commonly used with echoMAP, ECHOMAP CHIRP, ECHOMAP Plus, ECHOMAP UHD, STRIKER, STRIKER Plus, and STRIKER Vivid models that support the User Data Sharing feature
Installation and setup
Route the cable where it will not chafe, get pinched by hatches, or sit against hot engine components. Leave a little service loop behind the display so the harness connections are not under strain when the unit is removed for service.
At each display, splice the cable into the user data conductors on the power and data harness. The typical connection crosses the data pair between units (blue from one unit to brown on the other, and brown to blue), and both displays should share the same ground bus. After wiring, enable User Data Sharing on both units and confirm that saved waypoints and routes appear on each display.
Compatibility and fit
This cable is for sharing user data between two compatible Garmin units. It does not extend a network port, radar connection, or sonar signal path, and it will not replace a NMEA 2000 backbone or an Ethernet style marine network run.
A good match for boats running two compatible Garmin displays at different stations, such as a console and bow unit, where you want one waypoint list and route library to stay in sync during fishing days and cruising.
