BELDEN 1696A, 18 AWG RG-6 BROADCAST COAXIAL CABLE

Belden 1696A is a professional-grade, multi-pair digital audio cable designed for high-performance interconnects in studio and broadcast environments. It is optimized to transmit balanced digital audio signals between microphones, mixing consoles, amplifiers, and recording equipment with exceptional clarity and noise immunity.

Product Description

Built to meet the demands of critical audio signal routing, the Belden 1696A features high-quality stranded conductors that ensure flexibility and durability during installation. It is specifically engineered to provide the low-capacitance and consistent impedance characteristics required for reliable digital signal transmission, preventing data errors and signal degradation. The cable incorporates a robust shielding system—typically a combination of foil and braid—that effectively rejects electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) common in complex electronic setups. Its rugged outer jacket is designed for long-term reliability, making it an ideal choice for both permanent studio installations and high-demand professional audio routing.

Conductor: 22 AWG (typically) stranded conductors for high flexibility.

Application: Optimized for professional AES/EBU digital audio and analog audio interconnects.

Shielding: Comprehensive foil and braid shielding to maintain signal purity in high-interference environments.

Performance: Low capacitance and superior noise rejection.

Best For: Connecting professional audio equipment, studio cabling, patching, and reliable signal distribution in broadcast or recording facilities.
