A photo of the kit, the radio, the EUD, and whatever is holding it together today. We design the solution, build the prototype, and send it to you for validation. No drawings required.
The cabling in their MCH kits didn't cleanly bridge the AN/PRC-163, the Invictus PTT and the EUD cable Marines already carried. There was no drawing. We scoped it, designed a single dual-PTT + EUD lead around the Nett Warrior receptacle the unit already owned, prototyped it, and ran production in Auburn. Slimmer than the L3Harris set, no in-line NATO 6-pin, and $450–$1,200 per kit the unit didn't spend on new EUD cables and phone cases. Zero defective or returned cables to date.
“V 3/6 has thoroughly tested and successfully fielded Protocable's AN/PRC-163 solutions. The audio and data connectivity performed flawlessly, delivering everything required to meet the mission's demands.”The PRC-163 kit →
Four steps, one of which is yours.
A photo and three sentences: what it plugs into, what you're doing today, which unit. From a phone is fine.
We call back with the questions an operator asks: connectors, lengths, routing, what you already own and want to keep.
Designed and hand-built here. It ships to you to run, not to a slide deck. We give you the date when we scope it.
When it works we scale it in the same shop with the same cable stock. A part number you can easily order.
One prototype per gap, and you don't pay for design work: Protocable keeps the design, so the engineering is on us and you only pay for the parts you order. If your company needs to own the design, say so in your request and we'll scope a paid development agreement instead. We take gaps where a production run is plausible, and we'll tell you if yours isn't.

Every cable house selling into defense lists the same connectors and the same standards. What they can't hire is the time we spent as the end user.
A career in Special Forces carrying radios, sensors and the cables between them, from team rooms to unattended sensor sites. We know what a PRC-163 lead does when it snags a plate carrier in the dark.
Our time inside the defense industry taught the other half: expert companies are experts in their field, and cabling is almost always an afterthought. So you bring a problem, not a print. We ask what you already own, what has to survive, and what you'd rather not carry. Then we draw it.
Design, prototype and production in one shop in Auburn, Washington.
If you already have the print, the Manufacturing page has the capabilities list, the quality system and the RFQ route.
