Analog Audio Snake Cables are specially designed for the broadcast industry, Belden is adding to the family of audio snake cables to simplify field terminations.
Application
Snake cables are used to connect multiple audio channels in low-level (microphone) and high-level (line) componentry such as console board equipment for recording studios, radio television stations, post-production facilities, and sound system installations. With Belden’s individually shielded and jacketed snakes, pairs can be split out of the overall jacket for any length and connectorized directly without the need for heat shrink tubing or costly and time-consuming preparation.
Beldfoil® Shielding
Belden pioneered the development of an aluminum/polyester foil for use as a cable shield and was awarded a patent for the Beldfoil design. Beldfoil is a laminated tape of aluminum foil bonded to polyester film. The aluminum foil provides electrostatic shielding, while the polyester film adds strength and extra insulation. Since a Beldfoil shield is lightweight, strong, flexible and thin, yet extremely effective, it is ideally suited for multiple pair individually shielded audio, communication, and data cables. It provides 100 percent shield coverage for improved protection against radiated emissions and ingress at audio and radio frequencies.
Banana Peel® Audio Snake Cables
• Each component is bundled and affixed to a center spline, eliminating the need for an overall jacket
• Foil is bonded to the jacket for easier termination
• Smaller OD occupies less space in conduit
• Better bend radius than traditional jacketed products
• Requires less effort and less installation time
Plenum Jacketed Audio Snake Cables
• Individually shielded and jacketed pairs eliminate the need for heat shrink
• Saves an extra step in installation and reduces labor costs
• Foil is bonded to the jacket for easier termination
Waterblocked Audio Snake Cables
• Outdoor-rated with a dry water-blocking tape, which reduces the installation difficulties associated with water-blocking gel
• Foil is bonded to the jacket for easier termination
• Suitable for direct burial
