Kenwood CA-EX3MR 3m Marine Remote Extension Cable

The Kenwood CA-EX3MR is a 3-meter extension cable for compatible Kenwood marine wired remote-control installations. It adds needed reach between a compatible marine receiver and the remote's attached cable. This makes it useful when the receiver is installed in a protected compartment while the remote is mounted at a helm, cockpit, or other convenient control location.

Designed for use with the Kenwood KCA-RC107MR wired marine remote, the CA-EX3MR helps accommodate longer cable-routing paths in boat installations. It is intended for systems where the standard remote lead does not reach the desired mounting position. The cable extends control connectivity rather than adding audio channels, amplification, or source features.

The CA-EX3MR uses proprietary 8-pin connectors to maintain the proper connection between the compatible Kenwood remote and marine receiver. A male 8-pin connector connects to the receiver-side remote input, while a female 8-pin connector accepts the attached cable from the wired remote. Its black finish keeps the installation visually discreet alongside typical marine-system wiring.

With a nominal 3.0-meter length, the CA-EX3MR provides approximately 9.8 feet of additional reach. It supports a cleaner installation when the receiver and remote must be separated by cabinetry, bulkheads, console structures, or other boat components. Careful routing helps preserve service access and avoids placing strain on the connectors.

This cable is a practical system accessory for Kenwood marine receiver and remote configurations, including documented KMR-700U and KMR-440U applications with the KCA-RC107MR remote. It can also be used within a multi-remote layout when paired with the appropriate optional Kenwood branch cable. Confirm the receiver and remote model before purchase, as the 8-pin connection is proprietary.

Design & Installation

The CA-EX3MR is a black remote-control extension cable built around Kenwood's proprietary 8-pin connection format. Its purpose-built male and female ends are arranged to bridge the receiver-side remote input and the attached lead of a compatible wired marine remote. No audio-processing, power-handling, or speaker-wire function is specified for this accessory.

Route the cable from the compatible receiver's remote-control input to the KCA-RC107MR cable connection, allowing adequate slack for service and avoiding sharp bends or pinch points. For installations with multiple compatible remotes, use the appropriate optional CA-Y107MR branch cable as required by the system layout. Professional installation is recommended when cable routing requires access behind consoles or through boat structures.
