Rear 20-Pin MAP USB Programming & Data Cable

The Motorola PMKN4148A is a USB programming and data cable designed for compatible Motorola mobile radios equipped with a rear 20-pin Mobile Accessory Port. It connects the radio’s rear MAP interface to a computer USB port.

When used with the appropriate Motorola Customer Programming Software, the cable allows authorized technicians to read and write supported radio configurations, update programmed features and manage radio settings.

The rear connection is especially useful for fixed installations, service benches and applications where access to the radio’s front microphone port must remain available. The cable can also support compatible computer-based data applications.

Important Cable Comparison

For radio alignment and connection to specialized test equipment, a different cable—such as the PMKN4149A or PMKN4150A—may be required. Confirm the intended service procedure before ordering.

Software Requirements

Motorola Customer Programming Software is not included. The correct software version and any required licenses must be obtained separately through an authorized source.
