Why units choose Protocable

Silvus is focused on making the best radio they can, and they have deep experience and talent supporting them. Protocable's field experience complements the radio technology by giving users streamlined and durable kitting solutions.

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.

Native connectors, no adapters in the loop

Every cable terminates in the connector the equipment already uses. Overmolds are color-coded where two ends could be confused, and strain relief comes straight out of the connector body.

  • Solar panel or any 12 V source on the input side. The radio never sees the handover.
  • Silvus and Trellisware output cabling in the same kit, so one kit covers a mixed fleet.
  • PC-4693 carries power and ethernet from the X-90 up to a mast-mounted SC4400.
