These units are installed on my present boat and are in perfect working order. I have them networked together using a GMS 10 with one at the helm and one at the nav station so that is why there is only one antenna. Selling because i would like to upgrade to newer Garmin products.

Hi Tim,

Does the radome come with all cables and whatever I may need to connect to my plotter? I won't be networking the system but connecting directly to my Garmin 740s plotter.

Thanks
Skip

Skip, It comes with the power cable. The network cable will not work for a direct connection to a chart plotter. The cable I have only works if you have a Garmin network expander. The cable from Garmin is not too expensive. I will discount my asking price to account for the network cable you would need.

As a person that has this setup. There is one network connector on the back of the plotter , the radar will connect in there directly if you wire the Ethernet cable as a cross over cable.

True. I should have said the cable that I have will not work but you can cut it and crimp on a new connector and align the wires so it is a cross over. I would not recommend doing this unless you have experience crimping cat 5 cables. I have worked in the IT industry over 25 years and I know how to properly crimp cables but I still buy them ready made as they are usually more reliable. The garmin network cables come with a removable locking collar so they will fit through holes that only need to be as big as a RJ45 connector.

Hi Tim,

First let me confess that I'm a newbie with this Garmin. Just got it a few weeks ago and haven't even installed it yet (although I have gotten to play with a couple on other boats).

So started researching the radar cable and haven't found anything that says it's direct connect radar to chart plotter but have found several labeled "network" cables. This includes looking on the Garmin web site.

Next step I dug out the plotter to see what's on the back and found a socket labeled "Radar Only" (I could tell right away that was the one to check ) which looked pretty much like it would take a standard Ethernet cat5 cable. So grabbed an old Ethernet cable out of the computer parts bin and it popped right in.

So is it possible that the network cable is also the same cable that connects directly to the plotter? Is what you have an Ethernet type connector?

Thanks
Skip

Well I see that much has happened while I was typing and looking at my 740. Seems like my question was answered before I asked. And Dave's info about the crossover anticipated my next question.

So the I need a cable with a crossover on a couple of the wires for direct connect vs a straight through that would connect to the network?

Yup , easy peasy
