Description
Heavy-Duty DC Power Supply Cable for Mobile Transceivers
Ensure clean power distribution and maximum wattage output for high-power vehicle fleet radios.
The Icom OPC2478 is a genuine original equipment manufacturer (OEM) primary DC power cable designed to deliver safe, stable electricity to professional vehicle setups. Integrating the Icom OPC2478 9.8-foot DC power cable into your mobile communications hub connects your high-wattage transceiver directly to a vehicle's battery or a dedicated base station power supply. Measuring approximately 3 meters or 9.8 feet in total running length, this heavy-gauge harness supports high-power 45-watt and 50-watt mobile radio configurations that demand a continuous electrical draw of up to 20 Amps.
Engineered specifically for commercial vehicle fleets, emergency response trucks, and heavy logistics machinery, this power cord prevents hazardous voltage drop over its running distance. It comes equipped with robust dual inline safety fuses to isolate sensitive digital equipment from unexpected engine alternator spikes or electrical short circuits. Choosing the authentic Icom OPC2478 ensures your IDAS digital mobile platform maintains its full structural signal transmission range and loud audio projection without thermal issues or power cuts during heavy push-to-talk operation.
Key Features & Benefits

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the physical length and amp rating of this power cord?
This cable measures approximately 3 meters (9.8 feet) and is custom-engineered to handle a high-amp continuous electrical draw of up to 20 Amps.
Is this cable meant to separate a control display panel from the main body?
No, this is purely a high-amp DC power supply cable to connect the radio to a battery source. Separation setups require a specialized multi-pin separation data cable instead.
Does this power assembly feature any built-in circuit protection?
Yes, the harness includes dual integrated inline safety fuses to shield your electronic mobile device from vehicle battery surges and over-current faults.
Can I use this wire harness to run a 25-watt low-power mobile radio?
Yes, while it is optimized for high-power 45W and 50W models, it is perfectly safe to use for lower-wattage models as long as the connector style matches.
Do I need specialized tools to connect this cord to the radio chassis?
No tools are required for the radio side; the heavy-duty molded connector locks securely into the transceiver's native rear power socket with a simple push-on click.
What manufacturer protection covers this factory wiring hardware?
This genuine original factory part comes backed by Icom's standard one-year commercial accessory warranty against defects in craftsmanship or materials.
Warranty
1-year manufacturer’s warranty.
