BELDEN 8428, 20 AWG 2-CORE SHIELDED AUDIO/CONTROL CABLE

BELDEN 8428 is a premium, heavy-duty, shielded cable designed for professional audio and industrial control applications. Built with 18 AWG stranded conductors and a rugged CPE jacket, it provides high signal integrity and exceptional physical durability in the most demanding commercial and stage environments.

Product Description

Engineered for longevity and performance, the 8428 features two 18 AWG stranded tinned copper conductors that offer superior conductivity and resistance to corrosion. Its construction is specialized for high-reliability use cases where cables are frequently handled or exposed to harsh conditions:

Advanced Shielding: Unlike standard foil-shielded cables, the 8428 utilizes a high-coverage Tinned Copper braid shield (85%). This provides maximum rejection of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) while maintaining flexibility.

Material Integrity: The conductors are insulated with EPDM rubber, providing excellent heat resistance and electrical stability. The cable is protected by a Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) jacket, which ensures resistance to chemicals, moisture, and extreme temperature fluctuations (-30°C to +60°C).

High Voltage Rating: With a 600V rating, this cable is more robust than standard low-voltage control lines, making it suitable for high-current audio signal chains and specialized industrial control circuits.
