Percon AK 42 AL PTC Multipair Audio Cable | 4 Pairs 24 AWG Low Capacitance | Fixed Installation

Four-Pair Analogue Audio Multicore

The Percon AK 42 AL PTC is a shielded multipair analogue audio cable with four balanced pairs. It is built for fixed installations, where several microphone or line signals need to run together through conduit and trunking in a studio or venue. One multipair cable replaces several single-pair runs, which keeps the installation tidy and quicker to pull.

Low-Capacitance Construction and Details

Each pair is 24 AWG copper OFC with PEX insulation, and the cable is described as low capacitance. Low capacitance helps keep high frequencies intact over longer runs and reduces the load on line-level sources and inputs. Consistent pair geometry also helps the four circuits behave predictably when they are routed side by side in the same jacket.

Aluminium Shield and Drain Wire

The shield is aluminium-PET with a drain wire, which gives reliable screening for fixed audio runs. The manufacturer designed the cable for easy preparation, as the aluminium foil stays inside the jacket when stripping, and the drain wire is braided for a neat termination. Those details save time for technicians working on large installations. Confirm the required length and connector type when you request a quote.

Jacket and Installation Notes

The PTC jacket suits fixed installation in buildings and studio infrastructure. The nominal diameter is 9.5 mm, so check conduit fill and the bend radius before pulling the cable through the route. Keep the cable away from mains power wherever the route allows, since mains proximity can add hum to low-level audio circuits. Check the specification against your project brief before placing an order.

Selecting the Multipair Option

Choose the AK 42 AL PTC for fixed multipair audio runs with low capacitance and a practical shield. For mobile use with microphonic risk, the AK 42 MIC PTC FCA is the alternative with a spiral copper shield. Quotes are issued by length and pair count, so include both in the enquiry to receive an accurate offer.
