Belden 1172A B59, Multi Conductor 4C Star Quad 26 AWG PVC Black
Description
Belden 1172A B59 is a flexible star quad microphone cable designed for low-noise performance in high-EMI environments and line level balanced analog audio. It features 4 x 26 AWG (30x40) BC - Bare Copper conductors with PE - Polyethylene insulation and a 95% Tinned Copper (TC) French Braid shield. A 28 AWG (19x40) BC drainwire with paper tape under braid with drain over tape supports termination and shielding continuity. The cable is finished with a PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket and a 0.190 in (4.83 mm) nominal diameter.
