AN/PEQ 15 laser remote cable switch
Description
Black plastic and rubber handswitch 50mm long x 20mm wide to which is attached a 30 cm electrical cable with a male plug. The plug attaches to an AN/PEQ 15A and allows for fingertip activation of the device without altering the user's handgrip on the weapon. The remote switch is plugged into the PEQ15 remote jack and is then secured to the weapon to best suit the operator’s firing preference, using the retaining straps and / or hook and loop fastener tape.
