Motorola RKN4078A Remote Mount Control Cable (5 Meters)

Motorola RKN4078A Remote Mount Control Cable (5 Meters) Optimize Cockpit Space with Remote Radio Mounting The Motorola RKN4078A is a high-quality 5-meter (approx. 16-foot) interconnect cable designed to facilitate the remote mounting of mobile radio control heads. In vehicles with compact dashboards or limited console space, mounting a full-sized mobile radio can be a significant challenge. This cable solves the problem by allowing the bulky radio chassis (RF deck) to be installed in a hidden location—such as under a seat or in the trunk—while the control head remains conveniently within the operator's reach. The Motorola RKN4078A is the updated version of the Motorola RKN4078. By separating the control head from the main radio body, the RKN4078A enables a cleaner, more ergonomic installation that improves vehicle safety and aesthetics. This cable is specifically engineered to maintain full signal integrity and data speed between the two components, ensuring that every button press and display update is instantaneous. Built to Motorola's rigorous OEM standards, it features heavy-duty shielding to protect against the electrical interference and high-vibration environments typical of public safety and commercial vehicles. Key Features Extended 5-Meter Reach: Provides 16 feet of cable length, offering maximum flexibility for placement in large vehicles, trucks, or command centers. Remote Control Separation: Required for configurations where the radio chassis and control head are mounted in different locations. High-Integrity Data Link: Ensures reliable communication between the RF deck and the interface without signal loss or audio degradation. Genuine Motorola OEM Build: Manufactured with industrial-grade materials to withstand the rigors of mission-critical field use. Low-Profile Routing: The durable yet flexible cable jacket allows for easy routing through vehicle trim, firewalls, and cable channels.
