CT-106 Programming Pigtail — VX & EVX Series Radios
Programming Pigtail • VX-231/350/410/420/450 • EVX-530 Series • Requires FIF-12 Interface
The CT-106 Pigtail is the radio-side programming cable that connects Vertex Standard / Motorola VX and EVX portables to your PC for software programming. It works in conjunction with the FIF-12 USB programming interface to read and write codeplugs across the VX-231, VX-350, VX-410, VX-420, VX-450, and EVX-530 series — the right accessory for dealers, fleet managers, and shops that program their own radios.
Who It's For
For anyone programming VX or EVX portables in-house. The CT-106 Pigtail requires the FIF-12 USB interface to function — get the cable on its own here, or buy the complete kit as the FIF-12 Interface with CT-106 Pigtail. Not sure which programming gear you need? Contact our Canadian radio experts.
