Description
Heavy-Duty 20ft 10 AWG Mobile Power Cable
High-power 20A DC power cable for connecting Motorola mobile radios and control heads directly to vehicle battery systems.
The Motorola HKN4192C (also referenced as HKN4192) is a heavy-duty original equipment manufacturer (OEM) mobile DC power cable designed to supply stable, high-current electrical power directly from a vehicle battery to Motorola mobile two-way radios and control heads. Constructed with robust 10 AWG copper wiring and rated for up to 20 Amps of continuous current, this 20-foot cable assembly ensures minimal voltage drop over long wiring runs in cars, trucks, utility vehicles, and public safety fleets.
Engineered for demanding commercial, public safety, and industrial applications, the Motorola HKN4192C features high-grade heat-resistant insulation, pre-terminated battery connections, and a specialized radio power connector to maintain clean, uninterrupted power delivery. By routing primary electrical power straight from the battery rather than auxiliary dashboard sockets, this cable eliminates electrical noise interference, prevents voltage dips during high-power radio transmissions, and protects sensitive transceiver circuitry across DMR Association digital networks and Project 25 (P25) channels operated under FCC Licensing standards.
Key Features & Benefits
-
20-Foot Cable Length: Provides generous wire length to route cabling cleanly from engine battery compartments to under-seat, trunk, or dash radio mounts.
-
Heavy-Duty 10 AWG Wiring: Thick 10-gauge copper conductor minimizes DC voltage drop during high-power 20A radio transmissions.
-
20 Amp Continuous Rating: Built to handle high electrical current demands of high-tier mobile radios and remote control heads.
-
Direct Battery Integration: Connects straight to vehicle battery terminals to bypass noisy dashboard circuitry and prevent alternator hum.
-
Factory Connector Fitment: Precision molded power plug mates securely with Motorola mobile transceivers to prevent accidental power disconnections.
-
Commercial Field Durability: Rugged jacketing resists heat, abrasion, automotive fluids, and engine compartment vibrations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a 10 AWG wire gauge recommended for mobile radio installations?
A 10 AWG copper wire gauge is thick enough to handle high current draws (up to 20 Amps) over a 20-foot distance without experiencing significant DC voltage drops that could cause radios to shut down during transmission.
Should the Motorola HKN4192C cable be connected directly to the battery?
Yes, connecting directly to the vehicle battery leads ensures a clean 12V DC power source, bypassing ignition noise, electrical ripple, and voltage fluctuations from other vehicle electronics.
Does the Motorola HKN4192C cable fit both APX and MOTOTRBO mobile radios?
Yes, the Motorola HKN4192C features a standardized power connector plug compatible with a wide array of Motorola mobile series, including APX 1500, APX 2500, APX 6500, APX 8500, DEM 500, and TLK 150.
Can the 20-foot power cable be cut shorter if needed?
Yes, technicians can cut the cable to a shorter length during installation; however, proper fuse protection and ring terminals must be reinstalled on the battery end.
Is the Motorola HKN4192C an authentic Motorola OEM part?
Yes, the Motorola HKN4192C is an authentic original equipment manufacturer power cable produced directly by Motorola Solutions.
