Icom OPC-599 Adapter Cable for Linear Amplifier (13-pin ACC to 7-pin + 8-pin)
The Icom OPC-599 adapter cable is an essential accessory for connecting your Icom transceiver (such as the IC-7300MK2 or IC-7100) to external high-power linear amplifiers like the IC-PW1 or IC-PW2. This cable converts the radio's 13-pin ACC output to the necessary 7-pin and 8-pin ACC connector configuration required for seamless amplifier control and integration.
Essential Connectivity: Icom OPC-599 Amplifier Interface Cable
Maximize your transmitting power by integrating an external linear amplifier into your Icom amateur radio station with the Icom OPC-599 Adapter Cable. This genuine Icom accessory is specifically designed to bridge the connection between many modern Icom transceivers and their high-power amplifier counterparts, ensuring reliable operation and control.
The OPC-599 is the critical link required when connecting radios that feature a single 13-pin ACC (Accessory) connector to older or larger amplifiers that utilize the separate 7-pin and 8-pin ACC connector inputs. This simple, high-quality cable ensures all necessary control signals—such as PTT, ALC, and band data—are properly transmitted, allowing for safe and automatic amplifier switching.
Key Specifications & Use:
- Function: Converts a single 13-pin ACC port into the dual 7-pin and 8-pin ACC connection standard.
- Primary Application: Seamless control and integration with Icom Linear Amplifiers (e.g., IC-PW1 and IC-PW2).
- Cable Length: Approximately 300 mm (11.8 inches), providing a short, clean connection for desktop setups.
