Kenwood CA-Y107MR Marine Remote Y-Splitter Cable

The Kenwood CA-Y107MR is a compact Y-splitter cable for expanding a compatible Kenwood marine remote-control system. It connects two wired Kenwood marine remotes to one compatible marine receiver remote-control input. This accessory is intended for installations where control of the receiver is needed from more than one location.

It is well suited to larger boats with separate operating areas, such as a helm and an aft seating area. Instead of relocating a single remote or limiting control to one position, the cable creates two remote connection branches. The remotes and compatible Kenwood marine receiver are sold separately.

The CA-Y107MR does not amplify, process, or reproduce audio. Its role is to route remote-control connectivity within the marine audio system, allowing supported remote functions to be accessed from two locations. Audio performance remains dependent on the connected receiver, amplifiers, speakers, and source equipment.

Kenwood uses a proprietary 8-pin connection format for this adapter, with one male receiver-side connector and two female remote-side connectors. The 14-inch cable length keeps the branch point close to the receiver or an extension-cable junction. This purpose-built layout avoids using generic audio Y-adapters for a remote-control connection.

The CA-Y107MR can be used as part of a scalable Kenwood marine remote installation. Kenwood documentation shows compatible remote systems may be expanded further with an additional CA-Y107MR, and CA-EX3MR or CA-EX7MR extension cables may be used where longer runs are required. Confirm receiver and remote compatibility before installation, since this cable is designed for Kenwood proprietary marine remote connections.

• Kenwood Accessory Design: Intended for compatible Kenwood marine wired remote systems.

Design & Installation

The CA-Y107MR uses a compact Y-adapter layout with one receiver-side lead and two remote-side branches. Its black cable-and-connector design is made for integrating into a Kenwood marine remote-control harness, while published documentation does not specify the cable-jacket or connector-housing materials. The short 14-inch length helps position the split near the receiver or a compatible extension cable.

Connect the male 8-pin connector to a compatible Kenwood receiver remote-control input, then connect a supported wired remote to each female branch. For installations requiring more distance, Kenwood documentation identifies the CA-EX3MR and CA-EX7MR as compatible extension-cable options for supported remote systems. Do not use this cable as an audio, speaker, USB, or standard data-cable splitter.
