RF Service Cable for MOTOTRBO R7

The Motorola PMLN6422A RF Cable is a professional RF coaxial cable designed for service, testing, alignment, and RF connection applications with compatible Motorola portable two-way radios, including the MOTOTRBO R7.

Constructed using RG316 RF coaxial cable, the PMLN6422A provides a reliable connection between compatible radio RF test hardware and external RF equipment.

The cable uses SMA and N-type RF connections, allowing compatible Motorola radio service equipment to interface with RF test equipment such as service monitors, analyzers, test sets, and other appropriate RF equipment.

The PMLN6422A is particularly useful for radio technicians, Motorola dealers, communications service shops, and organizations that maintain and service their own professional two-way radio fleets.

Cable Construction

The PMLN6422A uses:

RG316 RF Coaxial Cable

RG316 is a compact and flexible coaxial cable commonly used for RF test and interconnection applications.

The flexible construction makes the PMLN6422A convenient for bench servicing and radio testing where the cable may need to be routed between a portable radio, RF adapter, and test equipment.

RF Connections

The PMLN6422A provides:

SMA Connection

and

N-Type Connection

These connections allow the cable to interface compatible Motorola radio service hardware with appropriate RF test equipment.

The exact adapter configuration required depends on the radio and service application.

Motorola MOTOTRBO R7

The PMLN6422A is compatible with the:

Motorola MOTOTRBO R7

For R7 servicing, the cable can be used as part of an appropriate RF test and service setup.

It should not be confused with a standard programming cable or USB data cable.

The PMLN6422A carries an RF signal rather than serving as the primary programming or charging connection for the radio.

Additional Compatible Radios

Documented applications also include select Motorola portable radio platforms such as:

• Motorola MOTOTRBO R7

• Motorola XPR 7380

• Motorola XPR 7580

• Motorola XiR E8600

• Motorola XiR E8608

• Motorola XiR E8608i

• Motorola XiR E8628i

• Select additional compatible Motorola portable radios

Compatibility can depend on the radio model and RF adapter being used.

Always verify the complete service setup before ordering.

Service and Test Applications

The PMLN6422A is intended primarily for professional radio service applications such as:

• RF performance testing

• Radio diagnostics

• Radio alignment

• Transmitter testing

• Receiver testing

• Service-monitor connection

• RF analyzer connection

• Bench servicing

• Radio maintenance

• Technical troubleshooting

The appropriate Motorola service procedures and test equipment should be used when servicing a radio.

Not a Programming Cable

The PMLN6422A is an:

RF Cable

It is not a conventional USB programming cable.

It should not be purchased for customers simply looking to connect an R7 to a computer for normal CPS programming.

Motorola offers separate programming and data accessories for those applications.

Professional Service Accessory

Because the PMLN6422A is primarily a service and test accessory, it is most appropriate for:

• Motorola radio dealers

• Two-way radio repair shops

• Communications technicians

• Fleet maintenance departments

• Professional radio installers

• Organizations maintaining their own radio equipment

Most everyday radio users will not require this cable for normal operation of their MOTOTRBO R7.

Important

The PMLN6422A is a professional RF service cable, not a standard radio programming, charging, or accessory cable.

Compatible adapters and RF test equipment may be required depending on the radio and service procedure.

Do not connect RF test equipment to a portable radio without following the appropriate service procedures.

The portable radio, RF adapters, and test equipment are sold separately.
