Description
Belden 8426 010 is a flexible 6-conductor microphone/instrument cable designed for ruggedized, deployable use in studio or live performance environments. It uses 20 AWG (26x34) TC - Tinned Copper (High Conductivity) conductors with EPDM - Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer insulation and an overall braid shield. The cable includes dual braid layers (Rayon® and 85% Tinned Copper braid) plus a cotton serve and an EPDM - Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer jacket. It is rated 600 V and -50°C to +90°C for demanding indoor applications where flexibility and shielding matter.
