What is a 2-Wire Surveillance Kit?
A 2-wire surveillance kit uses two separate cables for enhanced reliability and functionality:
- Wire 1 (Speaker/Earpiece): Delivers received audio through the coiled acoustical tube to your earbud
- Wire 2 (PTT/Microphone): Contains the push-to-talk button and microphone for transmitting
This dual-wire design provides redundancy and allows for more flexible positioning of the PTT button and microphone compared to single-wire kits.
Why Choose Kevlar-Reinforced Cable?
Standard surveillance kit cables are a common failure point in professional use. Our Kevlar-reinforced cable provides:
- 5x Longer Lifespan: Kevlar reinforcement dramatically extends cable life compared to standard cables
- Superior Strain Relief: Prevents cable separation at connector and component attachment points
- Cut & Abrasion Resistance: Withstands contact with sharp edges, rough surfaces, and equipment
- Maintains Signal Integrity: Reliable electrical connections even when cable is flexed or stressed
- Professional Durability: Engineered to survive the demands of daily tactical and covert operations
Medical-Grade Acoustical Tube Benefits
The medical-grade coiled acoustical tube offers significant advantages:
- Hygienic: Medical-grade materials are safe for extended skin contact and easy to clean
- Virtually Invisible: Clear tube remains discreet during undercover and plainclothes operations
- Comfortable: Soft, flexible tube conforms to ear shape without causing irritation
- Replaceable: Tube and earbud can be replaced for hygiene or if damaged
- Coiled Design: Provides flexibility and prevents tangling during active operations
