Can anybody identify this cable? It came with a system 9000 DEK. Part # HKN6189A. It appears to be genuine Motorola part. Round end has nine pins and the other end looks like a Mic plug.

That may be a headset/boom-mike adapter for the David Clark noise cancelling headsets used on fire engines...

It's hard to tell in the second picture, what does the other end have?

It comes up on MOL as..

Item Number. HKN6189A
CABLE, CH DEK $20.75

The interesting part is it came with a DEK, and it says it's for a DEK, but the only thing that uses the 6 pin port on a dek is the connector between the DEK and the control head... e.g. VIP port on control head goes to 6 pin connector on DEK, and DEK's VIP port is now active...

Is it possible it's a cable intended to interface a DEK with a non-Motorola or even a non-Systems 9000 style head?

The dek box end is the mic connector. The other end looks like it plugs into a XTL control head.

Interesting... anybody familiar with the DEK provisions for the XTL O series heads?

Sorry,I forgot to say that I bought the DEK on ebay.
It came with all mounting hardware and proper cable and vip 2 plug to hook to my x9000 head.
If it's for a boom mike I may look into using it on a maratrac I plan to set up as a base for amateur use.

The circular connector plugs into the back of the newer XTL series control heads and onto the radio drawer itself. Usually the remote cable has a blue band with the same circular connector on each end. The power, speaker, ignition sense has a red band. There is a yellow connector but I do not know what its used for (DEK maybe?)
