BELDEN 1813A, MIC CABLE BLACK

Belden 1813A is a high-quality, 2-conductor 24 AWG shielded audio cable specifically designed for professional microphone and line-level signal transmission. Featuring high-conductivity bare copper conductors and a robust spiral shield, it delivers reliable, low-noise performance for live events, studio recording, and permanent audio installations.

Product Description

1813A is a standard in the audio industry for balanced signal paths. Its stranded conductor design provides the flexibility required for stage and studio use, while the 90% coverage spiral shield effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) to ensure clear, clean audio reproduction.

Key Technical Specifications

Insulation: Durable Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) insulation for consistent dielectric properties.

Outer Jacket: Flame-retardant Black PVC, built to withstand the demands of frequent handling or permanent installation.

Electrical Characteristics:

Voltage Rating: CM-rated (Communication use).

Capacitance (Cond-to-Cond): Approximately 33 pF/ft.

Operating Temperature: -30°C to +60°C.

Design: Compact, easy-to-terminate design suitable for professional XLR and TRS connectors.

Primary Applications
Professional Audio: Ideal for microphone connections, balanced audio lines, and studio patch bays.

Live Events: Reliable for stage snakes and portable audio equipment interconnections.
