Overview
The Futaba Extension Lead with 200J Filter (FUT9M06A17101) is a genuine Futaba accessory designed for RC enthusiasts who need to extend connections within their radio control models. Whether you're building a new RC car, RC truck, or any other RC model that requires flexible component placement, this extension lead provides the perfect solution for reaching distant servo connections, receiver modules, or other electronic components. The recognised Futaba build quality ensures reliability and durability, making this an essential addition to any serious RC hobbyist's toolkit.
This is a straightforward yet highly functional extension lead that incorporates Futaba's proven 200J filter technology directly within the lead itself. The filter helps to suppress electrical noise and interference, which is particularly important in complex RC installations where multiple servos and electronic components operate simultaneously. If you're involved in competitive RC racing, casual bashing, or precision RC crawling, clean power distribution is crucial for stable servo response and reliable radio control performance. The 200J filter integration means you don't need to source additional filtering components—it's built right into the lead.
The extension lead is particularly valuable when component placement demands additional cable length, helping you maintain a clean, organised wiring layout within your chassis or fuselage. Rather than daisy-chaining multiple leads or attempting to route wiring in awkward configurations, this purpose-built extension lead from Futaba provides a neat, professional solution. The clear part reference (FUT9M06A17101) makes it easy to identify and reorder, and the genuine Futaba construction ensures perfect compatibility with Futaba radio systems and receivers used throughout the UK RC community.
Key Features
- Integrated 200J Filter — The extension lead includes Futaba's 200J filter built directly into the connector, which suppresses electrical noise and RF interference that can otherwise cause servo jitter, unstable control inputs, or loss of signal fidelity in your RC model. This is especially important in installations with multiple servos or when operating in environments with electromagnetic interference.
- Genuine Futaba Accessory — As an officially manufactured Futaba component, this extension lead guarantees perfect compatibility with all Futaba receivers and radio systems, and meets Futaba's strict quality and reliability standards that have made them trusted throughout the RC hobby for decades.
- Extended Reach Connectivity — The extension lead provides additional cable length where component placement within your RC model demands it, allowing you to position servos, receivers, or other electronic components in optimal locations without being constrained by standard lead lengths.
- Clean Wiring Organisation — Rather than using multiple leads or improvised solutions, this extension lead enables a neat, professional wiring layout that reduces clutter inside your RC chassis and makes future maintenance or troubleshooting significantly easier.
- Spares Box Essential — Whether you're building a new RC model or maintaining an existing fleet of RC vehicles, having quality Futaba extension leads in your spares box ensures you're never caught short when you need to reconfigure or repair an installation.
- Reliable Build Quality — The solid Futaba construction and clear part reference (FUT9M06A17101) make this a dependable choice that will perform consistently across thousands of RC operating hours.
Technical Performance
This extension lead is engineered with Futaba's recognised attention to detail and build quality. The integrated 200J filter is designed to work seamlessly with Futaba receiver systems and provides effective noise suppression across the frequency range used in modern RC radio systems. The lead itself is constructed to precise specifications ensuring reliable electrical contact and stable signal transmission, which is critical for maintaining accurate servo control and responsive handling in your RC model. The filter component is passive, meaning it requires no additional power or configuration—it simply attaches inline between your receiver and servo connections to provide immediate benefits. The lightweight construction (0.01kg) means it adds negligible weight to your RC installation, whilst the compact design allows it to fit neatly within crowded electronics bays. Whether you're running a complex multi-servo RC crawler with rock-crawling precision requirements, a fast-paced RC buggy with demanding servo responsiveness, or a stadium truck that needs every millisecond of control accuracy, this extension lead delivers the filtering and connectivity you need. The barcode 5051121275780 ensures authenticity and makes inventory management straightforward for retailers and collectors alike.
What's in the Box

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the 200J filter and why do I need it in my RC extension lead? — The 200J filter is a noise suppression component that eliminates electromagnetic interference and RF noise from your RC receiver's power supply and signal lines. In RC models with multiple servos, brushless motors, or when operating in areas with cellular towers or radio transmitters, electrical noise can cause servo jitter, unpredictable control inputs, or even complete loss of signal. The filter integrated into this extension lead cleans up your power distribution automatically, ensuring smooth, stable servo response and reliable radio control. This is why serious RC competitors and experienced builders always use filtered leads for critical servo connections.
- Is this extension lead compatible with all Futaba radio systems? — Yes, as a genuine Futaba accessory, this extension lead is designed to work seamlessly with all Futaba receivers and radio control systems. The connector type and signal specifications match Futaba's standard, so whether you're using a Futaba 7PX, 6J, 8FG, or any other Futaba transmitter system, this extension lead will integrate perfectly. If you're using a non-Futaba radio system, you should verify connector compatibility before purchasing.
- How long is the extension lead cable? — Whilst the exact cable length is not specified in the available documentation, extension leads are designed specifically to provide additional reach beyond standard servo leads when component placement requires it. If you need specific dimensional information about cable length, we recommend contacting our team directly at 01543 577278 (Mon-Sat 09:00-17:00) or WhatsApp us for detailed measurements.
- Can I use this extension lead with multiple servos? — The extension lead is a single connection point, so it extends from one receiver port to one servo. However, you can use multiple extension leads in your RC installation, each providing filtered connectivity to different servos. Many RC builders use filtered leads on critical servos (like steering servos in rock crawlers) whilst using standard leads on less sensitive connections, which is a perfectly valid approach.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This is an accessory product rather than a complete RC system, so it's most useful for someone who already has a functioning RC model and Futaba radio system. Beginners just starting out should first acquire a complete ready-to-run RC car or RC truck kit. However, once you've developed your skills and are building custom RC setups or troubleshooting servo response issues in existing models, this extension lead becomes an invaluable tool in your spares box.
- What is the age recommendation and can young people use this? — The recommended age is 14+, which reflects the general complexity of working with RC electronics and the need for adult supervision during installation and maintenance. This is consistent with RC hobby safety standards throughout the UK.
- How do I install this extension lead in my RC model? — Installation is straightforward: simply disconnect your servo from the receiver, connect the extension lead to the receiver port, then connect your servo to the end of the extension lead. The filter is now inline between your receiver and servo, providing noise suppression automatically. No configuration or additional components are required—it's a plug-and-play solution.
