Percon AK 42 MIC PTC FCA Microphonic Audio Cable | 4 Pair 24 AWG Copper Spiral Shield | Mobile Use

Multipair Microphone Cable

The Percon AK 42 MIC PTC FCA is a four-pair shielded audio cable made for mobile microphone and balanced line applications. It is designed for environments where the cable is moved often, so it resists the microphonic noise that flexing cables can create. This makes it a dependable choice for stage boxes, camera positions and live rigs.

Shield and Drain Design

A polished copper spiral shield covers the four pairs, with a tinned copper drain wire. The spiral layer stays in contact when the cable bends, which helps keep shielding stable over time and supports a good signal-to-noise ratio. The tinned drain wire simplifies termination and keeps the shield connection reliable at the connector. Confirm the required length and connector type when you request a quote.

Conductors and Insulation Detail

Each conductor is 24 AWG oxygen-free copper with 25/38 stranding and PEX insulation. The fine strands keep the cable soft to handle, which is useful when routing around camera pedestals, stage risers and equipment cabinets. The insulation also keeps the pair spacing stable as the cable is flexed during regular use. Check the specification against your project brief before placing an order.

Jacket and Diameter

The jacket is PTC with a FRLSZH compound, which limits smoke and halogen if the cable is exposed to fire. The nominal diameter is 9.4 mm. The cable is listed for mobile installation, so choose it for flexible runs rather than fixed trunking where it will not move. Share the route and quantity with your enquiry so the quote matches the job.

When to Use the Mic Version

Choose the AK 42 MIC PTC FCA for mobile microphone multipair runs where microphonic noise is a risk. For fixed installations where the cable stays in place, the AK 42 AL PTC is the lower-cost alternative. Quotes are issued by length, so include the pair count and route when you request pricing.
