Crystal-Clear Comms: Headset Adapter Cables
A crew chief’s headset is worthless without the right adapter cable. Baja Racing Gear’s Headset Adapter Cables collection covers every plug-to-plug scenario in desert racing—bridging IMSA, Nexus, Redel, XLR, TA5, 3.5 mm TRRS, and even Bluetooth PTT dongles—so your pit, chase, and race teams stay in perfect sync.
Most-Requested Adapters
- IMSA Female → Nexus 4-pin Male Coil-Cord – stretches 18″-6′; use an aviation headset on PCI intercoms.
- XLR 4-pin Female → 3.5 mm TRRS – drops a Kenwood KHS-10 noise-canceling headset into a sat-phone.
- Stilo WRC Female → Nexus 5-pin Male – perfect for rally crew chief headsets in a desert truck pit.
- Nexus 4-pin ↔↔ 4-pin Gender-Changer – the “get-out-of-jail” barrel you keep in the toolbox.
- Dual-Jack GA → 6-pin Redel Male – converts general-aviation David Clark headsets to FluidLogic.
Desert-Rated Engineering
Every cable features oxygen-free tinned-copper conductors, 105 °C silicone insulation, and double-molded strain reliefs that shrug off 150 lb pull tests. Gold-plated contacts resist Baja salt fog, while braided Kevlar sleeves protect against exhaust-manifold flash heat. We bench-test each run for sub-2 Ω end-to-end resistance—your mic stays hot and hiss-free.
Universal Compatibility Matrix
Match PCI, Rugged, Comlink RTX, or Trax Plus intercoms to virtually any headset: Bose A20, David Clark H10, Lightspeed Zulu, Stilo WRC, Kenwood KMC-45, Icom HM-195, and more. If it has a plug, we have the jumper.
Quick Install Tips
- Route coiled cords inside roll-cage tubes; zip-tie every 12″.
- Add a dab of dielectric grease on pins to prevent galvanic corrosion.
- Lock-ring collars need only “finger-tight + ⅛ turn”—over-torquing crushes O-rings.
Why Upgrade?
Cleaner audio means faster pit calls, fewer misheard split times, and zero repeats. With legit SFI-legal headset wiring you avoid that race-day scramble for a borrowed cable—and keep your crew focused on lap strategy, not static.
