Overview

The Garmin 010-11541-00 is a 6.5 ft (1.98 m) video cable that connects a third-party camera to a compatible Garmin navigator so the screen can show an analog video feed when you need eyes behind the boat or vehicle.

It uses an RCA connection on the camera side and a 3.5 mm plug on the Garmin side, with a 22 AWG lead in between. This is meant for standard composite-style camera outputs that use RCA video.

For marine installs, plan on routing it through a dry path behind the helm or inside a console, and protect the connection points from spray and washdowns since the plugs themselves are not sealed like deck hardware.

Key features

• 6.5 ft (1.98 m) cable length for routing from the helm area to a nearby camera/video connection point
• RCA video connection for a third-party camera and a 3.5 mm plug for the compatible Garmin device
• 22 AWG cable construction suited to low-voltage signal wiring runs
• Works with composite-style camera video outputs that present video over RCA
• Compatible with Garmin dezl 560LT, dezl 560LMT, dezl 760LMT, and RV 760LMT

Compatibility and fit

This cable is made for Garmin devices that accept video input through a 3.5 mm connection, including dezl 560LT, dezl 560LMT, dezl 760LMT, and RV 760LMT. It is not a general-purpose adapter for Garmin chartplotters or networked marine systems.

On the camera side, you will need a camera that outputs analog video via an RCA video connection. Any camera power, triggering, or reverse signal wiring is handled separately from the video lead.

Installation and routing

Route the cable away from ignition components, high-current wiring, and sources of heat, and secure it so it cannot rub through on fiberglass edges or aluminum frames. Use a grommet or chafe guard anywhere the cable passes through a bulkhead or console wall.

At the connection points, leave a small service loop and strain relief so vibration does not work the plugs loose. In wet areas, keep connectors up high, add a drip loop, and protect exposed plugs inside a dry enclosure when possible.

Use on board

This is a practical way to bring a stern or engine-room camera feed to a compatible Garmin navigator when you want a quick visual check while docking, backing into a slip, or keeping an eye on a working area.

It also fits boaters who tow regularly and want the same navigator to display a rear camera view at the ramp or in the driveway, without changing out the camera itself.

Care and protection

Inspect the plugs periodically for corrosion and looseness, especially if they live in a damp console. Keeping the connectors clean and dry, and using basic moisture protection at the plug interface, helps prevent intermittent video dropouts over time.
