Reliable Interface Between Radio Interface Box and Computer
The Motorola 3080369B72 is a specialized data interface cable designed to connect a Radio Interface Box (RIB) to a computer's serial port. This essential programming component features a 9-pin RS-232 female connector that plugs into the PC (or a USB-to-Serial adapter) and connects directly to the RIB box. Engineered for legacy and professional mobile radio series, this cable serves as the critical data bridge required for stable frequency alignment, firmware updates, and comprehensive radio configuration.
As a genuine Motorola Solutions accessory, the 3080369B72 ensures consistent data flow and prevents the communication "timeouts" often associated with inferior generic cables. While modern computers may lack native serial ports, this cable remains a industry standard for technicians utilizing a USB-to-Serial converter to maintain compatibility with the robust RIB-based programming ecosystem. Its heavy-duty shielding and high-quality pin connectors are built to withstand the repetitive use of a busy radio service center or field maintenance kit.
Key Features & Benefits
- Standard 9-Pin Interface: Connects the Radio Interface Box (RIB) to a standard RS-232 serial port (IBM AT style).
- Stable Data Transmission: Optimized for the low-latency data transfer required for sensitive radio alignment and flashing.
- USB-to-Serial Compatible: Pairs seamlessly with high-quality USB-to-Serial adapters for use on modern laptops and desktops.
- Professional Grade Durability: Features molded strain relief and shielded cabling to ensure longevity in professional service environments.
- Genuine Motorola Part: Guarantees electrical compatibility with the official Motorola RLN4008 series Radio Interface Boxes.
- Mission-Critical Connectivity: The reliable choice for technicians managing mission-critical fleets that require a legacy RIB interface.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I plug this directly into my radio? No. This cable is designed to connect the Computer to the RIB Box. You will still need a radio-specific cable (such as an AARKN4081) to connect the RIB box to the radio itself.
My computer doesn't have a 9-pin port. Will this work? Yes, provided you use a high-quality USB-to-Serial adapter. For radio programming, we recommend adapters using the FTDI or Prolific chipsets to ensure stable data timing.
Is this used for software updates? Yes. This cable is a required component of the RIB-based programming chain used for flashing firmware and updating configurations on compatible CDM and GM series mobile radios.
Warranty
1-year manufacturer's warranty.
