Hytera Connecting Cable, Adapter Cable, Power Cable

Hytera cable solutions for radio system power and connectivity

The category includes Hytera radio accessories designed for several different functions. DC power cables are intended for powering mobile radios or repeaters, while wired PTT units provide external radio transmit control. Adapters can provide connections between different accessory connectors, while the protective device for Ethernet ports is used for lightning protection of the connection.

What are Hytera connection cables and adapter cables used for?

The adapter solution in this category is designed to provide a connection between 13-pin and 16-pin accessory connectors. It allows specified legacy accessories with a 16-pin connection to be used with intrinsically safe radios equipped with a 13-pin accessory connector. Compatibility is linked to specific equipment families, so matching the number of pins alone does not confirm suitability.

Hytera power cable for mobile radios and repeaters

The DC power cable range includes versions for both mobile radios and repeaters. Documented cable lengths are 3 m and 5 m, while rated current values are 10 A, 15 A or 20 A depending on the version. The 20 A version is designed for 100 W repeaters, while other cables are intended for specific mobile radios or repeater systems.

How should the correct cable length and current rating be selected?

Documented equipment compatibility should be checked first when planning radio system cabling. The required 3 m or 5 m cable length and the specified 10 A, 15 A or 20 A rating can then be selected. Cables with different current ratings should not be considered interchangeable based only on physical size or cable length, because individual versions are associated with specified radios or repeaters.

PTT cables and wired radio control

Wired PTT solutions include foot-operated and ring-type designs. The documented foot switches include a version with a DB26 connector and 4 m cable, as well as a version with a 3.5 mm jack connector and 2 m cable. The ring-type PTT also uses a 3.5 mm audio jack and has a 2 m cable. These controls are used for external operation of the PTT function.

Which connectors are used in Hytera radio cabling?

Documented connections include DB26, 3.5 mm audio jack and 13-pin and 16-pin accessory connectors. These interfaces are associated with different functions and devices. Connector shape therefore does not replace compatibility checking: the radio accessory and its corresponding cable or adapter must be matched correctly.

• DC power cables in 3 m and 5 m versions.
• Documented current ratings of 10 A, 15 A and 20 A.
• External PTT foot switches with 2 m or 4 m cables.
• Ring-type PTT with 3.5 mm audio jack connection.
• Adapter between 13-pin and 16-pin connectors.
• Surge protection accessory for Ethernet ports.

The products in this category are not universally interchangeable cables or adapters. Compatibility is determined by the exact radio or repeater, accessory connection and documented application.

ATEX PTT controller and radio accessory for special environments

The category also includes an intrinsically safe PTT control unit documented for use in ATEX Zone 0. This version is designed for specified explosion-protected radios and should therefore not be treated as a general wired PTT accessory. When configuring such a system, the documented compatibility of both the radio and the PTT controller must be considered.

What is Ethernet port surge protection used for?

The category includes a surge protection device for Ethernet ports. Its purpose is to provide lightning protection for the Ethernet port of specified repeaters. This accessory is not a conventional data cable or adapter cable, but a protective component associated with the Ethernet connection and intended for specific repeater systems.

What should be checked when verifying Hytera radio compatibility?

We recommend starting with the exact compatibility of the radio, repeater or accessory. For power cables, check the required cable length and current rating; for PTT controls, check the connector and cable length; and for adapters, verify both connection sides. With ATEX accessories, it is particularly important to use the control unit only with the documented radio system.

Advantages:

• Several DC power cable versions for mobile radios and repeaters.
• Wired PTT solutions with different control designs.
• Connector adapter for linking legacy and newer accessory interfaces.
• PTT controller documented for ATEX Zone 0 applications.
• Lightning protection accessory for Ethernet connections.

Limitations: compatibility of individual cables, PTT controls and adapters is linked to specific radios, repeaters or accessories. Connector type, cable length or current rating alone is not sufficient for selecting the correct accessory.

Summary: Hytera cables and radio system cabling

The Hytera cable category includes documented accessories for radio system power supply, external PTT control, connector adaptation and protection of selected network connections. The range includes 3 m and 5 m DC power cables, current ratings from 10 A to 20 A, PTT solutions with DB26 and 3.5 mm jack connectors, and an adapter between 13-pin and 16-pin connections. The correct accessory should always be selected according to documented Hytera radio compatibility.
