Garmin BlueNet Network with Fusion PartyBus Stereos and Legacy Garmin Marine Network Devices
If you have connected multiple compatible Fusion® stereos together using Fusion PartyBus™ networking technology and you want to connect one of them to a chartplotter, you should connect one of the stereos or a third-party switch dedicated to the Fusion PartyBus network stereos directly to a Garmin BlueNet™ chartplotter or Garmin BlueNet 20 switch for the best performance.
You should use the appropriate Garmin BlueNet network to RJ45 adapter cable (010-12531-02) to connect a Fusion network stereo or third-party switch to a Garmin BlueNet chartplotter or Garmin BlueNet 20 switch.

Third-party network switch |
When creating a Fusion PartyBus network with multiple stereos, you may use one or more third-party network switches to connect the stereos. You should connect the switch to a Garmin BlueNet device. If you have only one Fusion PartyBus stereo using a wired connection, you can connect it to the Garmin BlueNet device without a switch. |
