Seamless Connectivity for PC and Android Integration

The Icom OPC2350LU is a specialized USB data communication cable designed to bridge the gap between your Icom transceiver and modern digital devices. This high-quality interface allows for a direct connection between your radio and a PC or an Android™ device, unlocking advanced features like D-STAR data communication, remote control via apps, and simplified programming. Featuring a specialized L-type 2.5 mm plug, the OPC2350LU is engineered for a secure, low-profile fit that prevents accidental disconnection during field or mobile operations.

Measuring 60 cm (23.6 in) in length, this cable provides the perfect reach for desktop setups or vehicle-mounted radios where your Android device is secured in a cradle nearby. Whether you are using the RS-MS1A Android application to send pictures and text messages over the D-STAR network with the 5100A, or interfacing with the 9700 for high-speed digital modes, this genuine Icom cable ensures stable, high-speed data transfer without the interference common in generic USB-to-serial adapters.
