Description
USB-A to USB-C Data, Programming & Charging Cable for ST7000 & TPG2200
Genuine Motorola Solutions Original shielded USB Type-A to USB Type-C cable for codeplug programming, firmware updates, and direct DC charging of ST7000, TPG2200, and M6 terminals.
The Motorola PMKN4196A is an authentic original equipment manufacturer (OEM) USB-A to USB-C data and charging cable engineered for Motorola Solutions TETRA communication terminals. Sourced directly from our verified inventory of Two-Way Radio Cables, this dual-purpose interface cable connects compatible terminals—including the Motorola ST7000, ADVISOR™ TPG2200, and M6 Handheld Control Head—directly to a standard computer USB-A port or USB power supply for reliable codeplug programming, firmware flashing, and 5V DC battery charging.
Engineered to prevent data dropouts during critical firmware and configuration writes, the Motorola PMKN4196A features shielded internal conductors and precision-molded USB Type-C and USB Type-A connectors with heavy-duty strain relief. Radio technicians and fleet administrators can read and write terminal codeplugs, customize alert tones and talkgroups, and deploy software updates through Motorola Customer Programming Software (CPS) without risking interrupted transfers. Built to satisfy electromagnetic emission limits under FCC Standards (Part 15 Class B), environmental RoHS compliance, and workshop equipment safety practices under OSHA Standards, the PMKN4196A delivers dependable daily service across public safety, healthcare, fire response, and enterprise technical workshops.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Motorola devices are compatible with the PMKN4196A cable?
The Motorola PMKN4196A is engineered specifically for the Motorola ST7000 compact TETRA portable radio, the Motorola ADVISOR™ TPG2200 TETRA two-way pager, and the Motorola M6 handheld control head.
Can I use the PMKN4196A for both programming and charging?
Yes. The PMKN4196A is a dual-purpose data and power cable. When connected to a PC running Motorola Customer Programming Software (CPS), it transfers codeplug configurations and firmware updates; when connected to a compatible USB-A power adapter or computer port, it charges the terminal's battery.
Is Motorola Customer Programming Software (CPS) included with the cable?
No. The PMKN4196A is a standalone hardware cable. Compatible Motorola programming software (CPS / CPS Plus) must be acquired separately through authorized Motorola Solutions software channels.
What is the difference between the PMKN4196A and PMKN4196?
There is no functional or compatibility difference. The PMKN4196A is the current factory revision superseding the earlier PMKN4196 part number, offering the same USB-A to USB-C programming and charging performance.
Why should I use the OEM PMKN4196A instead of a generic consumer USB-C cable?
Many generic consumer USB-C cables are wired solely for power delivery without shielded data lines or proper USB termination, which can cause connection failures or interrupted firmware writes during radio programming. The OEM PMKN4196A is built to Motorola's shielding and connector tolerances for reliable data integrity.
