The SHIELD PTT features 4 mounting / connection receptacles for radio and accessory cables and the connection of the employed head worn device. The cables can be connected when required and disconnected and stored away when not required. The cables feature a 60 degree angled connection to the SHIELD PTT box allowing operators ease of access for connecting and disconnecting the cable assemblies. When seated into the box mounted receptacle(s), the cable assemblies are oriented in such a fashion as to be angled 45 degrees in toward the body armor to protect against snags and hang ups.
