Motorola PMKN4508A
XVE500 DIV 1 Replacement Cable Kit
Professional Restoration Cable for High-Heat Remote Speaker Microphones
The Motorola PMKN4508A is a specialized replacement coil cord kit designed to maintain the operational integrity of your XVE500 series Remote Speaker Microphones. Given that XVE500 microphones are frequently deployed in extreme 500°F (260°C) environments, the cable is often the most stressed component of the assembly. This genuine Motorola replacement kit allows technical teams to swap out damaged, frayed, or thermally stressed cables, ensuring that the primary communication link for firefighters and industrial personnel remains reliable without needing to replace the entire RSM head. The Motorola PMKN4508A is the updated version of the Motorola PMKN4508.
This heavy-duty cable kit is engineered to support the advanced data and audio throughput required for Division 1 rated equipment. While the cable itself is a mechanical and electrical conduit, it is built to the same rigorous standards as the original XVE500 assembly to preserve the high-fidelity audio and noise-suppression capabilities of the microphone. The Motorola PMKN4508A ensures that your APX and NEXT series radios continue to receive the clear, uninterrupted signal transmission required in life-safety situations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable intrinsically safe? The cable is a component of a Division 1 system. When correctly installed on a certified XVE500 RSM and used with a compatible radio, the entire assembly maintains its safety rating.
Can I install this cable myself? Installation requires opening the RSM housing. We recommend this be performed by a qualified radio technician to ensure that the internal weather seals and electrical connections are properly seated to maintain the IP68 rating.
Will this work with standard PMMN series microphones? No. The PMKN4508A is specifically designed for the high-data-rate and high-heat requirements of the XVE500 series. It is not compatible with standard APX or XPR remote speaker microphones.
