BELDEN 8451, 1 PAIR LINE LAVEL AUDIO CABLE

Belden 8451 is a classic 1-pair, 22 AWG shielded cable widely regarded as the industry standard for line-level audio and analog signal transmission. Featuring stranded conductors and effective Beldfoil® shielding, it is the go-to solution for professional studio wiring, interconnects, and low-voltage control circuits where reliable, noise-free performance is essential.

Product Description

8451 is designed to provide clean, stable signal integrity for both audio and instrumentation applications. Its compact 22 AWG stranded construction makes it highly flexible and easy to terminate, while the 100% coverage foil shield effectively blocks external electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Key Technical Specifications
Conductor Construction: 1 pair (2 conductors) of 22 AWG stranded (7x30) tinned copper conductors, offering excellent flexibility and consistent signal path.

Insulation: Polypropylene (PP) insulation, providing a low dielectric constant and stable performance across audio frequencies.

Shielding Architecture:

Beldfoil® Shield: 100% coverage aluminum/polyester foil tape provides maximum protection against high-frequency interference.

Drain Wire: Includes a 22 AWG stranded tinned copper drain wire for simple, reliable grounding and shield termination.

Outer Jacket: Durable, flame-retardant PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) jacket, commonly available in gray or black.

Electrical Characteristics:

Voltage Rating: 300 V RMS.

Capacitance: Optimized for low mutual capacitance (approx. 34 pF/ft) to preserve high-end frequency response over long runs.

Operating Temperature: -20°C to +75°C.
