Central to the system’s performance is the seamless integration of multiple sensors and radars. Micropol’s high-performance fiber optic military patch cables enable fast and reliable data transmission between these components, ensuring that large quantities of data from advanced radars like the Oerlikon X-TAR3D® Tactical Acquisition Radar are delivered instantly to the control node.

Micropol’s cables are specifically tailored to meet Rheinmetall's requirements, offering robust performance in the most challenging environments. Each military patch cable is thoroughly tested to ensure maximum data transfer speed and reliability, featuring cut-resistant design and connectors built to withstand subzero temperatures and external strain.
