Motorcycle Cable Kits

Setcom's cable kits allow an officer to safely key the radio and/or transmit over the public address system without taking his hands off the handlebars. Most states require that motorcyclists have both hands on the handlebars at all times.

Setcom's Motorcycle Cable Kits and their predecessors have been in use for more than 30 years.

Setcom makes a wide variety of Motorcycle Cable Kits for all ComKit configurations: Mobile Radio Only, Portable Radio Only and Mobile + Portable Radio. For all of these configurations, Setcom makes cable kits with and without an interface to the motorcycle's public address system.
Custom-designed, powder-coated brackets fit all police motorcycles: Harley-Davidson, BMW, Honda and Kawasaki.

Radio interfaces work with all widely-used mobile radios. To ensure the seamless integration of its kits, Setcom works extensively with the major radio manufacturers to develop them.

Kits include shielded cabling with a polyethylene or neoprene outer shell.

Where necessary, the cabling is double-shielded, with one shield on the microphone and another on the overall cable; double shielding eliminates radio frequency and electro-magnetic interference and provides consistently clear communication.

Extremely durable, four conductor military-style Nexus connectors are a standard in the kits and provide for a safe and quick disconnect when getting off the motorcycle; Setcom's Portable Radio Only configuration (without public address) uses a two conductor mini-plug connector.
Break-away connectors make installation and maintenance easy and economical.

For kits with a public address interface, Setcom provides a three position rocker switch. The switch is momentary in one direction for push-to-talk on the radio and locking in the other for broadcast over the motorcycle's public address system. A double-throw mechanical switch, the rocker is more durable and reliable than electrical relays.
Kits include extremely rugged push-to-talk switches; Setcom's standard switch is rated to withstand a minimum of 500,000 pushes, and its rocker switch is rated at 150,000 pushes.
