Kenwood Radio Programming Cable

This USB cable connects Kenwood TS-450S, TS-690, TS-790 and ID-150 radios to a computer for frequency and memory configuration. Amateur radio operators and service technicians use it to clone channels or update firmware without a legacy serial port. The FTDI chipset provides a reliable virtual COM link across current operating systems.

Six-Pin Din Connector and 6ft Length

The moulded 6-pin Din plug mates securely with the radio’s data jack, while the USB-A end plugs directly into any standard port. A 6ft cable run lets the radio sit on the bench while the laptop stays at a comfortable distance. Builders needing a different pinout or a shorter lead for mobile installations will need another adapter.
