Motorola NKN6510A CommPort Palm PTT Replacement Cable – 2-Wire for APX, XTS & HT Radios

Motorola NKN6510A CommPort Palm PTT Replacement Cable – 2-Wire for APX, XTS & HT Radios

The Motorola NKN6510A CommPort Replacement Palm PTT Cable (also sold as the NKN6510) is the genuine Motorola 2-wire replacement cable with palm-held push-to-talk for the Motorola CommPort ear microphone system. One end connects to your CommPort earpiece and the other to a Motorola radio adapter. The cable carries audio between the radio and the CommPort, and the palm PTT button sits in your hand so you can transmit discreetly without reaching for the radio. The coiled cord stretches as you move and pulls back neatly under clothing. When the original cable is cut, frayed, intermittent or the PTT fails, replacing only the cable puts your CommPort back in service for much less than a new system.

Tactical teams, undercover and plainclothes officers, protective details and fire and rescue crews use the CommPort with the NKN6510A on Motorola APX, XTS, HT, MTX and SRX 2200 radios.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Motorola NKN6510A?

The NKN6510A is Motorola’s CommPort replacement cable with a palm push-to-talk button. It’s a 2-wire coiled cable that connects a CommPort earpiece to a Motorola radio adapter.

What is CommPort?

CommPort is Motorola’s ear microphone system for covert and high-noise communication. The NKN6510A is one of its replacement cables.

Does the NKN6510A connect directly to my radio?

No. It connects to a Motorola audio adapter: the BDN6783 for APX 6000, APX 7000 and SRX 2200 radios, the BDN6676 for XTS and older models, or the AAHLN9717.

What’s the difference between a palm PTT, a ring PTT and a body switch?

A palm PTT is held in your hand. A ring PTT, like the NKN6512A, is worn on a finger for the most discreet use. A body switch, like the NNTN4188A, clips to clothing and is pressed with your hand or arm.

When should I replace my CommPort cable?

Replace it when the cable is cut, frayed or crushed, when audio or transmit cuts in and out, or when the PTT button stops working reliably.

Is this a genuine Motorola part?

Yes. The NKN6510A is an original Motorola CommPort replacement cable.
