Hello. I need to get an extension cord for mic RMN4038B, CDM series radio. I need about a 10 foot cord. I just want to plug the existing cord into the extension cord and then plug that into the radio. Is this available or do I need to make one? What is the best way? I did a search here but really didn't get a definitive answer. Thanks. Henry

I use a piece of CAT5e computer cable with a coupler at one end. Plug the mic into the coupler and you are all set.

I have also used a piece of flat 8 conductor grey phone wire, an RJ45 plug on the radio end, and a surface mount CAT5e jack. Wire pin 1 of the RJ45 to pin 1 of the CAT5e surface jack, pin 2 to pin 2, and so on. Works fine.

If making a long run I'd go with some kind of shielded cable...

Motorola cellular makes a 16-foot straight through ribbon cable with male & female ends. The female end has screw holes for mounting to whatever. Perfect for what you need. Part# SKN4467A. A nearby cellular dealer might have one in stock.

Last time we tried to order these they were cancelled. No longer available. MOL shows part is cancelled.

There is one on ebay right now!

I guess you can find everything on ebay if you look hard enough.
