This paper reports the development of a 5-10 kW cw variable coupler for 345 MHz spoke-loaded superconducting (SC)cavities. The coupler inserts an 80K copper loop into a 5 cm diameter coupling port on several types of spoke-loaded cavity operating at 2 - 4K. The coupling loop can be moved during operation to vary the coupling over a range of 40 dB. The coupler is designed to facilitate high-pressure water rinsing and low-particulate clean assembly. Design details and operating characteristics are discussed.
