Cradlepoint 170858-000 GPIO and Power Cable 3M
Overview
The Cradlepoint 170858-000 is a 3-meter GPIO and power cable assembly designed to extend control and power connectivity for Cradlepoint managed wireless routers in enterprise deployments. This cable bridges router GPIO ports to external devices—sensors, relays, power distribution systems—without requiring additional power supplies or signal conditioning. The 18AWG wire gauge handles both low-voltage signaling and modest power delivery, making it suitable for branch office automation, remote site management, and multi-device installations where GPIO triggering and auxiliary power are required.
Compatibility
The 170858-000 is engineered for direct integration with Cradlepoint managed wireless router platforms. It is compatible with the RX30-MC Managed Accessory (part numbers MB-RX30-MC, MA-RX30-MC) and the RX30-PoE Managed Accessory (MB-RX30-POE). The cable's 2x3 Molex connector on the router end pairs with direct open-lead wiring on the device end, allowing flexible termination into external control systems, auxiliary power buses, or sensor arrays. Confirm your router model's GPIO pin assignment before wiring to avoid mis-termination.
Installation Notes
The cable ships with a 2x3 Molex connector pre-assembled on the router end; the device end is supplied as open leads (bare wire) for custom integration. Strip and terminate the 18AWG leads into the appropriate external device connector or terminal block—no additional adapters are provided. The 3-meter length (9.8 feet) suits typical office and equipment-rack distances; measure from router GPIO port to your first integration device before ordering. Keep the cable clear of high-current power lines to avoid signal noise on GPIO lines.
