Why units choose Protocable

Silvus is focused on making the best radio they can, and they have deep experience and talent supporting them. Similarly, Protocable has deep military experience and cable design and manufacturing expertise.

Radios are regularly limited by their accessory suites. We build robust options for hard use, with operator needs driving the design.

Coverage

Every port, every power source, all customizable

Primary port to RJ-45, UXV and MPU5. Auxiliary port to USB-C and Nett Warrior. Modular power from a single or dual 2590, a vehicle cigarette socket, an AC/DC supply, a battery eliminator or a solar scavenger. When a unit standardizes on Silvus, the whole accessory list comes from this page.
