The HYTERA PC109 programming cable is a USB-to-10‑pin accessory designed for data connection between a computer and compatible Hytera radios, notably the MD610 series. The 1.2 m black cable supports PC programming, configuration and firmware updates, enabling technicians and radio users to transfer settings, perform cloning and carry out maintenance tasks.
Advantages
The cable converts USB signals to a serial data interface and features an 8-pin aviation-style connector on the radio end. Its 1.2 m length provides a balance between reach and manageable cable routing, and the simple plug-and-play connection streamlines programming and firmware update procedures when used with appropriate software.
Suitable for
- Programming and configuring compatible Hytera radios (MD610 series and similar)
- Transferring settings and cloning radio configurations
- Performing firmware updates from a PC
- Service and maintenance tasks by technicians and radio specialists
When it may not be suitable
This cable is intended specifically for data connection between a PC and compatible Hytera radios; it does not supply power for long-term operation of a radio. It may not be compatible with radios that use different pinouts or connector types, or with devices that require manufacturer-specific encrypted programming interfaces.
