RS232 DB25 Male Connection

RS232 is a serial communications standard commonly found on legacy computers, communications equipment, controllers, and specialized professional hardware.

The DB25M connector allows compatible Motorola portable radios to interface with supported equipment requiring this type of serial connection.

Professional Applications

Depending on the connected radio and equipment, the PMKN4071A can be used in supported applications such as:

• Serial data connectivity

• Radio system integration

• Programming applications

• Radio service applications

• Equipment interfacing

• Communications system maintenance

• Legacy equipment integration

• Professional radio configuration

The exact functionality available depends on the radio model, connected equipment, and software being used.

DB25 Male Connector

The PMKN4071A terminates in a:

25-Pin Male DB25 Connector

Customers should verify the connector type required by their equipment before ordering.

Equipment requiring a different serial connector or USB interface may require a different Motorola cable or an appropriate interface solution.

Legacy Equipment Support

The PMKN4071A can be particularly useful in radio systems that continue to utilize equipment with traditional RS232 serial interfaces.

While modern computers commonly use USB connections, RS232 remains in use with various professional, industrial, communications, and service systems.

This cable provides the appropriate physical connection for supported Motorola radio applications requiring a DB25 serial interface.

Professional Radio Accessory

The PMKN4071A is primarily intended for:

• Motorola radio dealers

• Two-way radio service centers

• Communications technicians

• System integrators

• Fleet communications departments

• Professional radio installers

• Organizations maintaining compatible radio systems

It is a specialized interface cable rather than a typical everyday portable-radio accessory.

Software and Equipment Requirements

The PMKN4071A provides the physical interface required for compatible applications.

Depending on the intended use, additional equipment or software may be required.

Software, computers, radios, serial equipment, adapters, and other accessories are not included unless specifically stated otherwise.

Important

The PMKN4071A is a specialized RS232 interface cable.

It is not a standard USB programming cable.

It is not a charging cable.

The cable uses a DB25 male serial connector, so customers should verify that their equipment has the appropriate interface before ordering.

Compatibility depends on the specific Motorola radio, equipment, software, and intended application.

Always verify compatibility before ordering for a particular radio system.
