It lets you tie in compatible equipment that uses an RJ45 network jack, including Fusion PartyBus stereos, OneHelm digital switching hardware with an RJ45 port, IP cameras, and other third-party network devices. Garmin BlueNet supports network connection speeds up to 1 Gbps, and the BlueNet side uses a connector that is similar in size to a NMEA 2000 plug for easier routing behind the helm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cable is meant for bringing RJ45-based devices onto a BlueNet network. It is not used to connect legacy Garmin Marine Network devices directly to a BlueNet port in a mixed network setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdapter between a Garmin BlueNet network connector and a standard RJ45 Ethernet port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsed to connect a network-compatible Fusion PartyBus stereo to a Garmin BlueNet device\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports connecting compatible IP cameras and other third-party Ethernet devices to a Garmin BlueNet device\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits Garmin BlueNet network layouts built around a Garmin BlueNet chartplotter or a Garmin BlueNet 20 switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps avoid mismatched connections when integrating RJ45 devices into a BlueNet-based network\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis adapter is a good match when your boat has Garmin BlueNet networking but the device you need to add uses a conventional RJ45 Ethernet port. It is most often installed at the helm, inside an electronics locker, or near a network switch where the RJ45 side can stay protected from spray and washdowns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe BlueNet connector can look similar in size to a NMEA 2000 connector, but it is for Ethernet networking and does not connect to a NMEA 2000 backbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoute the cable with gentle bends and secure it so vibration does not stress the connectors. Leave a small service loop at each end so you can unplug equipment without pulling on the cable run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause RJ45 connections are best kept in a dry, sheltered spot, plan the termination point so the RJ45 end lands inside a protected enclosure or behind a gasketed panel whenever possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eOn-board use notes\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis adapter makes sense when you are upgrading to Garmin BlueNet chartplotters and still want to network a Fusion PartyBus stereo, add an IP camera feed, or bring a third-party Ethernet device onto the boat network for configuration and troubleshooting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269493125301,"sku":"QBP849243","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1300154_qbp849243.jpg?v=1771544263","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp849243","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
