Garmin BlueNet Network Field Installable Adapter Kit

Field Installable Adapter Kit for Garmin BlueNet™ Network (010-12528-20)

• Designed specifically for marine-network systems from Garmin, this adapter kit allows you to wire a BlueNet™ network cable that was not factory-fitted with a connector, giving installers flexibility for custom lengths and retrofit installations.
• Includes field-installable connectors compatible with BlueNet network cables, enabling secure, reliable connections in marine environments.
• Ideal for boat builders, marine electronics professionals or do-it-yourself boat owners who need to create or extend a BlueNet network beyond standard lengths, or plug into a custom wiring harness. As one seller notes: “Use these field installable connectors to wire a Garmin BlueNet™ network cable that does not have a factory-installed connector.”
• Provides professional-grade, marine-rated connection integrity: the kit complements Garmin’s BlueNet ecosystem, which is built for rugged marine use, ensuring your network connectors match the performance of Garmin’s network cables.
• Minimizes downtime and guesswork: rather than re-routing or replacing a cable, you can terminate and install connectors on-site, saving time and avoiding costly custom cable fabrication.
• Supports the scalability of your marine electronics system: by enabling custom wiring lengths and reliable terminations, you maintain signal integrity across your BlueNet™ network—from chart-plotter, sonar, radar, and NMEA devices—ensuring all communicate effectively.
• Authentic Garmin part (PN 0101252820) — built to Garmin’s specification for compatibility and durability.
• Compact, lightweight packaging (approx. 0.6 lbs according to Walmart listing) means minimal additional weight on your vessel and convenient inventory for installers.
• Compatible with the full BlueNet marine networking architecture, making it a smart choice for upgrading or customizing existing systems while preserving warranty-grade connections.
• Simple installation: connectors are designed to be field-installed, enabling installers to cut cable to exact needed length, terminate with the kit, and integrate into the network without extensive rewiring or proprietary tools.

Why this adapter kit stands out & tips for use:

• By offering a field-installable termination solution, this kit eliminates the need to buy pre-terminated fixed-length cables, giving you flexibility and cost savings.
• Ideal for custom installations where your vessel layout demands non-standard cable runs, tight routing, or retrofit of electronics into existing wiring looms.
• When installing, ensure proper cable shielding, secure termination, and appropriate strain relief to maintain the marine-grade performance and weather resistance of your BlueNet network.
• Since it’s an official Garmin part, you preserve compatibility and performance expectations—you’re not relying on third-party generic connectors that may compromise network reliability or void warranties.
• Use this kit in setups where you want to future-proof network expansions: create a clean termination point today, and later add switches, gateways or additional devices without replacing the base wiring.

Use these field installable connectors to wire a Garmin BlueNet™ network cable that does not have a factory-installed connector.
