Garmin BlueNet 20 Network Switch, 5-Port, Gigabit, 10-32 Vdc, IPX7

Overview

The Garmin 010-02612-00 is a Garmin BlueNet network switch that adds more connection points so compatible Garmin BlueNet devices can share data on the same onboard network. It accepts 10 to 32 Vdc power (fits 12V and 24V systems) and uses a 2 A fuse.

It is built for Garmin BlueNet devices only. If your boat also has legacy Garmin Marine Network devices, they do not connect directly to this switch; a Garmin BlueNet 30 gateway is used when both network types need to communicate.

The housing measures 293.3 x 72 x 112.6 mm and is rated IPX7 for incidental water exposure. It is meant to be mounted where it will not be submerged, such as inside a console or an electronics locker with normal ventilation.

Key features

• Expands a Garmin BlueNet network when the available ports on your chartplotter are already in use
• Works only with Garmin BlueNet devices; legacy Garmin Marine Network devices require a Garmin BlueNet 30 gateway to communicate
• 10 to 32 Vdc input for 12V/24V power systems, with a 2 A fuse and 3.6 W max power usage
• Network link indicators support 10/100 Mbps and 1,000 Mbps connections and flash with data activity
• IPX7 water rating for incidental splashes; intended for mounting where it will not be submerged
• Polycarbonate plastic and die-cast aluminum construction with a 10 cm compass-safe distance

What’s included

• Garmin BlueNet 20 Switch
• Power cable
• Mounting hardware
• Garmin BlueNet network cable (2 m)
• Documentation

Installation and setup

Mount the switch with room to route and connect the network cables, and leave space for airflow so heat does not build up. A little separation from other wiring helps reduce interference, and an optional grounding screw is available if you need to bond the unit to the boat’s water ground.

Power is brought in through the included cable. In typical installs, the positive feed is run through the ignition or another manual switch so the network can be shut down when you are off the boat, since the unit can continue to draw power if it is left connected directly to the battery.

Compatibility and network planning

Garmin BlueNet network cables use small connectors that resemble NMEA 2000 connectors, but they are not the same cable type and they are not interchangeable. Connect only Garmin BlueNet network devices to the switch ports.

If your system uses a Garmin BlueNet 30 gateway to bridge to legacy Garmin Marine Network devices, the gateway connects to a single interconnected BlueNet segment (a chartplotter with multiple BlueNet ports or this switch). This helps keep the BlueNet side organized as you add more modules over time.

Use cases on board

This switch is a practical fit when you are adding more BlueNet-capable gear and your existing BlueNet ports are already spoken for, such as on multi-display helms or builds that include radar or other networked electronics. It is also helpful on refits where you want a clean, centralized place to land multiple BlueNet runs inside the console.

Status lights and basic troubleshooting

A status LED shows the unit’s operating state, and the network LEDs indicate link speed and activity. If you are tracking down a dead device on the network, the per-port LEDs make it easier to spot a disconnected cable, a powered-off device, or a link that is not coming up.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
