Professional Rear Accessory Programming Cable for Mobile Radios & Repeaters
Genuine Motorola Solutions USB-to-rear accessory interface cable engineered for MOTOTRBO mobile transceivers and digital base repeaters.
The Motorola PMKN4010B (catalog part PMKN4010 / PMKN4010B) is an authentic original equipment manufacturer (OEM) USB programming cable engineered specifically for MOTOTRBO mobile two-way radios and digital repeater stations. Connecting directly to the 26-pin accessory connector located on the rear panel of compatible transceivers, this cable provides a direct hardware data link between your personal computer and the radio infrastructure. It enables radio shop technicians and system administrators to program fixed vehicle installations, dispatch consoles, and rack-mounted repeaters without having to remove the front microphone or dismount the transceiver from dash brackets.
Built for fast, reliable data synchronization, the Motorola PMKN4010B utilizes a high-grade integrated USB-to-UART bridge to ensure error-free transmission when reading or writing codeplugs, updating channel frequencies, provisioning encryption keys, and flashing firmware updates under commercial FCC Licensing standards. The rugged 26-pin rear block features precision molded locking tabs that secure firmly into the radio's multi-pin accessory receptacle to prevent accidental data disconnection during critical firmware flashing procedures. Fully compatible with Motorola MOTOTRBO Customer Programming Software (CPS 2.0) and Radio Management (RM), the PMKN4010B is an essential tool for commercial fleet maintenance across XPR, DGM, DM, and XiR series mobile radios and base repeaters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the "B" suffix at the end of part number PMKN4010B mean?
The "B" suffix indicates the latest official manufacturing revision from Motorola Solutions. PMKN4010B represents the updated, newer production version replacing earlier iterations PMKN4010 and PMKN4010A, featuring upgraded USB controller hardware for modern Windows operating systems while delivering identical plug fit and full backward compatibility.
What is the difference between programming through the front microphone jack versus the rear connector?
Front programming cables (such as the HKN6184) connect through the front RJ45/GCAI microphone port and are convenient for quick bench updates. The PMKN4010B connects to the rear 26-pin accessory connector, which is ideal for vehicle installations and rack-mounted repeaters (such as the DR 3000) where the front panel is enclosed, in service, or connected to dispatch hardware.
Does this cable come with Motorola CPS programming software?
No. The PMKN4010B is the hardware interface cable only. MOTOTRBO Customer Programming Software (CPS 2.0) and Radio Management licenses are obtained separately through Motorola Solutions.
Can I use the PMKN4010B to update radio firmware?
Yes. The Motorola PMKN4010B supports high-speed data transmission required for official firmware upgrades, option board programming, and codeplug writing.
Is this an authentic Motorola Solutions product?
Yes. The Motorola PMKN4010B is an authentic original equipment manufacturer (OEM) programming cable engineered and certified directly by Motorola Solutions.
