Cradlepoint 170871-000 GPIO Cable Assembly
Overview
The Cradlepoint 170871-000 is a 3-meter GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) cable assembly engineered for industrial and remote-site connectivity in DIN rail environments. This cable bridges Cradlepoint wireless routers to external sensors, relays, and control systems where signal integrity and mechanical durability matter. The 2x2 Molex connector on the router end and open leads on the device end let you integrate with custom hardware, RTUs, or third-party controllers. Rail-safe design means it performs reliably in transit, utility, and harsh industrial deployments where standard consumer cabling fails.
Compatibility
The 170871-000 works with Cradlepoint R1900 Series routers, IBR1700, IBR200, and legacy IBR900 (end-of-life) and IBR600C (end-of-life) models. If you're running any of these routers and need to wire GPIO signals for remote reboot, alarm monitoring, or equipment state feedback, this is the correct cable. Not compatible with other router families — confirm your router model before ordering.
Installation Notes
Cable length is 3 meters (9.8 feet) — measure your routing distance before install. Wire gauge is 20AWG, suitable for low-voltage signal circuits (typically under 48V). The Molex end terminates to your router's GPIO port; the open-lead end requires crimped connectors or direct solder termination to your external device. No special tools beyond standard crimpers or soldering equipment. Black jacket aids identification in high-density installations. Not rated for submersion or direct burial — keep it in cable trays, conduit, or enclosed control cabinets.
