What Is the GE 2016560-003 Compatible CAM 14 Patient Interface Cable?

The GE Healthcare 2016560-003 compatible EKG patient interface cable is a reusable, aftermarket 15 ft (4.6 m) cable that links the CAM 14 acquisition module to a GE MAC resting ECG cart. The patient’s 10 leadwires plug into the CAM 14, which digitizes the 12-lead signal at the bedside, and this cable carries that data and module power back to the electrocardiograph. The longer length lets staff park the cart away from the bed in crowded rooms, stress labs, or emergency bays while the module stays close to the patient. It is a compatible replacement, not an original GE part, and it is built to the same fit, form, and function as the OEM 2016560-003 cable.

Compatible Equipment Models

This compatible cable is confirmed for use with the GE Marquette CAM 14 acquisition module on the MAC 5000, MAC 5500, and MAC 5500 HD resting ECG systems, and on GE CASE stress testing systems that use the CAM 14 module. It plugs into the 9-pin CAM port on the cart and the flat 4-pin port on the module. This cable is not for the CAM-USB or CAM HD modules, which use different interface cables, so confirm which acquisition module your carts use before ordering.

Design and Construction

At 15 ft (4.6 m), this cable offers more than three times the reach of the standard 4.3 ft CAM 14 cable, giving flexibility in how the cart is positioned. The cart end has a 9-pin push-pull connector that locks into the CAM port and releases with a straight pull, which protects the port from strain. The module end has a flat 4-pin connector that seats firmly in the CAM 14. The gray TPU jacket stays flexible, resists kinks, and holds up to routine cleaning. The cable is latex-free, non-sterile, weighs about 0.7 lbs, and ships one per bag.

When to Replace Your CAM 14 Patient Interface Cable

Long interface cables are more exposed to being stepped on, rolled over by cart wheels, and pinched in bed rails, and the conductors eventually fatigue near the connectors. Replace the cable when the cart reports that the acquisition module is not detected, when the module drops offline or the ECG trace freezes as the cable is moved, when all 12 leads show noise at once (a sign the fault is upstream of the leadwires), or when you find a crushed or cut jacket, a cracked connector housing, or bent or recessed pins. Swapping in a known-good cable is the fastest way to confirm the diagnosis before replacing the module.
