Motorola 0182297T13 KVL to KVL Cable Assembly
Secure MX-to-MX encryption key transfer cable for Motorola Key Variable 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 synchronization of encryption databases, sharing of Common Key Reference (CKR) data, and secure backup of mission-critical security parameters. The hardwired, shielded connection ensures sensitive cryptographic material is transferred without risk of interception or signal corruption.
Engineered for secure facilities and tactical environments, the 0182297T13 features high-quality MX-style connectors with a positive locking mechanism and gold-plated contacts for maximum electrical conductivity. It 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.
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: Internal shielding protects sensitive cryptographic data from electromagnetic interference (EMI) during transfer.
Positive Locking MX Connectors: Ruggedized MX-style interfaces prevent accidental disconnection and maintain signal integrity.
Gold-Plated Contacts: Low-resistance connections resistant to oxidation, even in high-humidity or coastal environments.
Multi-Generation Compatibility: Supports both legacy and current-generation key loaders for long-term infrastructure continuity.
TKN8209 Replacement: Direct drop-in replacement for the legacy TKN8209 cable assembly.

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 directly into a radio, a radio-specific KVL cable such as the TKN8531C is required.
Does this work with the KVL 5000?
This cable uses the legacy MX interface. Newer loaders such as the KVL 5000 typically use a different connector style. Always verify your loader's interface ports before ordering. Contact Atlantic Radio for guidance.
What is the difference between the 0182297T13 and the TKN8209?
There is no functional difference. The 0182297T13 is the current replacement part number for the legacy TKN8209 cable assembly, with identical specifications and compatibility.
