Belden 8423 010, 3C 20 AWG Low Impedance EPDM Black
Description
Belden 8423 010 is a ruggedized, deployable microphone cable for balanced analog audio in studio or live performance environments. It is built with 3 stranded 20 AWG (26x34) tinned copper (high conductivity) conductors and EPDM insulation. An overall braid shield combines Rayon® braid and tinned copper (TC) braid with 83% coverage for noise rejection, while the EPDM jacket provides a tough outer layer. It is rated 600 V and supports an operating temperature range of -50°C to +90°C for demanding indoor applications.
