Falconclaw PTT Cable – 6-Pin NATO U-329/U

Falconclaw PTT Cable – 6-Pin NATO U-329/U

The Falconclaw 6-Pin NATO PTT Cable is a 50cm radio downlead designed to connect the Falconclaw PTT to compatible military and tactical radios using the standard NATO U-329/U 6-pin connector. Its modular design allows users to change radio platforms while retaining the same Falconclaw PTT and compatible communication headset.

Built around the widely used 6-pin NATO radio interface, this downlead is compatible with selected AN/PRC-series radios and other compatible platforms. The secure locking connector is designed for demanding environments and operation while wearing gloves.

At only 20g and 50cm in length, the cable provides a lightweight connection between the radio and Falconclaw PTT without unnecessary cable bulk. The Falconclaw PTT is a single-communication system, meaning this downlead operates on Channel 1 only.

6-Pin NATO U-329/U Radio Connector

The Falconclaw downlead terminates in a NATO standard U-329/U 6-pin connector, an interface commonly found on military radio platforms. The locking connection provides a secure physical interface between the compatible radio and Falconclaw PTT.

For users operating multiple compatible radios, Falconclaw's interchangeable downlead system allows the radio-side cable to be changed while retaining the same PTT and headset configuration.

Compatible Radios

Falconclaw lists the 6-Pin NATO PTT Cable as compatible with the following radio models:

• AN/PRC-148 MBITR
• AN/PRC-152
• AN/PRC-152A
• TCA PRC-148
• TRI PRC-148
• Harris RF-310

Compatibility Note: radio connectors and wiring can vary between models and manufacturers. Confirm that your exact radio uses the compatible NATO U-329/U 6-pin interface before ordering.

Designed for the Falconclaw PTT

This downlead is specifically designed to work with the Falconclaw PTT communication system. Instead of permanently attaching one radio connector to the PTT, Falconclaw uses interchangeable downlead cables, allowing the communication setup to be adapted to different compatible radio platforms.

This modular architecture is particularly useful for users who operate more than one compatible radio or want the flexibility to change radio platforms without replacing their complete PTT system.

Single-Channel Operation

The Falconclaw PTT is a single-com communication system. When using this 6-pin NATO downlead, the cable keys Channel 1 only. It is not designed to provide dual-channel operation through the Falconclaw PTT.

50cm Lightweight Downlead

The cable measures 50cm (19.68 inches) and weighs approximately 20g. Its compact dimensions help minimise unnecessary cable length and weight within a communication setup while retaining sufficient routing flexibility between the PTT and compatible radio.
