Description
Motorola 0182297T13
KVL to KVL Cable Assembly
Secure Encryption Key Transfer for Tactical Loaders
The Motorola 0182297T13 (also identified as the TKN8209) is a specialized mission-critical cable assembly designed for the secure transfer of encryption keys between Key Variable Loaders (KVL). This "MX to MX" cable allows two key loaders to interface directly, enabling the synchronization of encryption databases, the sharing of Common Key Reference (CKR) data, and the secure backup of mission-critical security parameters. By providing a hardwired, shielded connection, the 0182297T13 ensures that sensitive cryptographic material is moved between devices without the risk of interception or signal corruption.
Engineered for use in secure facilities and tactical environments, the Motorola 0182297T13 is built to withstand the rigorous demands of federal and public safety security administrators. The assembly features high-quality MX-style connectors that provide a positive locking mechanism and gold-plated contacts for maximum electrical conductivity. This cable is an essential tool for fleet managers who need to clone encryption keys across multiple loaders or migrate security data from legacy KVL 3000 units to newer digital loaders, ensuring total continuity in secure communication networks.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Secure Key Synchronization: Enables direct device-to-device transfer of P25 encryption keys, ensuring database consistency across all loaders in a fleet.
-
Shielded Data Path: Advanced internal shielding protects sensitive cryptographic data from electromagnetic interference (EMI) during the transfer process.
-
Positive Locking Connectors: Features ruggedized MX-style interfaces that prevent accidental disconnection and maintain signal integrity.
-
Multi-Generation Compatibility: Serves as the primary link for both legacy and current generation key loaders, supporting long-term infrastructure life.
-
Gold-Plated Contacts: Ensures low-resistance connections and prevents oxidation, even in high-humidity or coastal storage environments.
-
TKN8209 Equivalent: Provides a direct, drop-in replacement for the TKN8209 series cable with improved modern manufacturing standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can this cable be used to load a radio directly? No. The 0182297T13 is specifically designed for transfer between two KVL units. To load keys into a radio, you require a radio-specific KVL cable (such as the TKN8531).
-
Does this work with the KVL 5000? This cable uses the legacy MX interface. Newer loaders like the KVL 5000 typically use a different connector style; always check your loader's interface ports before ordering.
-
What is the difference between this and the TKN8209? There is no functional difference; the 0182297T13 is the modern replacement part number for the legacy TKN8209 cable assembly.
