Belden 1218B B59, Multi Conductor Cable 6 Pair 22 AWG PVC
Description
Belden 1218B B59 is a 6 pair 22 AWG multi-conductor audio snake cable designed for clean, reliable multi-channel analog audio interconnects. Each TC - Tinned Copper pair uses Datalene® insulation and is individually shielded with Beldfoil® for 100% coverage to help reduce noise and interference. Numbered/color-coded PVC pair jackets and bonded shields strip simultaneously, supporting efficient termination and automatic stripping equipment. A flexible PVC outer jacket with ripcord helps simplify installation for indoor applications such as live events and studio sound.
