The Icom OPC-2523L is a specialized 10-pin right-angle (L-type) conversion adapter cable manufactured by Icom Inc. in Japan. Designed specifically for CommandMic system integration, the OPC-2523L connects between Icom remote handset extension lines (such as the HM-195 and HM-229 series CommandMics) and compatible marine VHF transceivers or black-box terminal units (including the IC-M510, IC-M510BB, IC-M410BB, IC-M605, and IC-M400BB series).

By angling the 10-pin remote control connection at 90 degrees, the OPC-2523L significantly reduces depth requirements behind helm consoles, bulkhead mounting plates, and cabinet enclosures. This right-angle design eliminates heavy bending fatigue on CommandMic cabling, prevents mechanical levering stress on internal transceiver receptacle pins, and provides a fully sealed, waterproof coupling built for demanding offshore wheelhouse environments.

Key Features:
• 90-Degree L-Type Form Factor: Redirects CommandMic multi-core cable routing downward or laterally, conserving valuable rear console mounting space.
• Connector Protection & Strain Relief: Prevents extreme bending radius stress on 10-pin remote cables and secures socket pins against mechanical fatigue.
• Heavy-Duty Waterproof Coupling: Equipped with 10-pin threaded marine-grade connectors with double rubber gaskets for saltwater spray resistance.
• CommandMic & Black-Box Compatibility: Engineered for seamless plug-and-play integration with all HM-195 and HM-229 series remote handsets across Icom’s fixed-mount and black-box VHF line.
