Overview

The Garmin 010-12067-10 is a right-angle power cable for GMR Fantom 5x/12x series radars. It is 48 ft (15 m) long and uses 12 AWG conductors, which matters when the radar is up on a mast, radar arch, or hardtop and the power source is a long run away.

The right-angle connector helps when space behind the radar is limited, keeping the bend gentle at the plug so the cable can be routed cleanly without fighting the mounting bracket or back of the scanner.

Key features

• 48 ft (15 m) length for routing from helm or electrical locker to mast, arch, or hardtop radar mounts
• 12 AWG conductors to support long power runs with less voltage drop than lighter-gauge cable
• Right-angle plug at the radar end to improve clearance and reduce strain where the cable exits the connector
• Intended for Garmin GMR Fantom 5x/12x series radar installations
• A voltage converter is required when used with the 100 W Fantom series radar

Compatibility and fit

This cable is meant for Garmin GMR Fantom 5x/12x series radars and is used for power, not Garmin Marine Network data. Confirm your radar family before ordering, especially if you are replacing an existing cable, since connector styles vary between radar lines.

If your setup uses a 100 W Fantom series radar, plan for the required voltage converter as part of the install so the radar is supplied correctly from your boat’s DC system.

Installation and routing

Lay out the full 15 m run before pulling the cable. Use chafe protection anywhere it passes through fiberglass, aluminum, or bulkheads, and secure the run so it cannot slap or vibrate underway. Leave a little service loop at the radar and at the power end so the connector is not carrying the cable’s weight.

This is a good match for center consoles, sportfishers, and sailboats where the scanner is mounted high and you want a single continuous power run without mid-span splices.

Electrical notes

Because the conductors are 12 AWG, the cable is suited to longer routing distances common on bigger boats and towers where voltage drop can become an issue. Use appropriate circuit protection and make clean, dry terminations in the boat’s DC distribution area so the radar has stable power in rough water and during engine cranking.
