Overview

The Garmin 010-12920-00 is a 10 ft (3 m) 12-pin extension cable that adds reach to a Panoptix LiveScope LVS12 transducer cable run. It gives you extra length for cleaner routing when the transducer is up on the bow and the sonar module is mounted farther back, or when you simply need more slack for service loops and strain relief.

This is a plug-in extension, so you keep the factory-style connections instead of cutting and splicing wires. It is meant for the LiveScope LVS12 transducer; LiveScope LVS32, LVS34, and LVS XR setups use a different extension cable.

Key features

• 10 ft (3 m) added length for LiveScope transducer cable routing
• 12-pin connectors to match LiveScope LVS12 transducer connections
• Extends the run without splicing, which helps keep installs tidy and serviceable
• Useful when the transducer is mounted on a trolling motor or pole and the electronics are mounted farther away

Compatibility and fit

Use this cable only when your transducer connection is the 12-pin LiveScope LVS12 style. If your system uses a different LiveScope transducer family, the connectors will not match, and the correct extension cable will be different.

Installation and routing notes

Plan the route so the cable is supported and protected anywhere it passes through rigging tubes, behind the console, or along a trolling motor shaft. Leave a little slack at both ends so the connectors are not under tension, and avoid tight bends right at the plugs.

On open decks, try to keep the connection point out of standing water and away from areas that get stepped on or pinched by hatches. Securing the run to prevent chafe will matter more long-term than the extra few inches of reach.

Who it fits best

This cable makes sense for anglers running LiveScope LVS12 on the bow who need more distance between the transducer mount and the rest of the electronics. It is also a good match when you want a cleaner rigging path on larger boats where the bow-to-console run is longer than expected.
