Percon AK 212 FCA Balanced Audio Cable | 2 Conductor 23 AWG Shielded | Mobile Broadcast Use

Balanced Audio Cable for Mobile Work

The Percon AK 212 FCA is a shielded analogue balanced audio cable designed for mobile applications where broadcast quality is needed. It carries a balanced two-conductor signal, which rejects common-mode noise over the longer microphone and line runs typical of production work. The cable is aimed at crews who move equipment often and need reliable audio on every shoot and location.

Conductor and Shield Design

Each conductor is 23 AWG oxygen-free copper with a 0.30 mm squared cross-section. The insulation is PE, and a braided CuSn shield screens the pair from electrical interference in busy studios and outside broadcast units. The construction is very flexible, which suits cable reels, camera carts and frequent repositioning around the set. Confirm the required length and connector type when you request a quote.

Jacket and Fire Compliance

The PTC NBR jacket is rated Euroclass FCA under EN 50575, a classification that many European and Gulf projects specify for installed cabling. The nominal diameter is 6.5 mm, and the cable is listed for mobile installation rather than fixed trunking. Check the jacket and fire rating against your tender before ordering the cable in quantity.

Termination and Polarity Checks

Terminate with XLR or jack connectors matched to the 6.5 mm diameter and the two-conductor build. Keep the shield connected at one end only where the system design calls for it, to avoid earth loops. Check phase and polarity on each pair before the crew goes live, because a reversed pair will cancel audio in some balanced setups.

Choosing the AK 212 FCA

Choose the AK 212 FCA for flexible balanced audio runs in mobile units, studios and temporary rigs. For microphonic environments with several pairs, the AK 42 MIC PTC FCA multipair version is a better fit. Lengths and connector options are quoted per project, so include the route and connector type in your enquiry. Check the specification against your project brief before placing an order.
