Quick Facts — TH-TPCTS2M Mains cable
- Model: TH-TPCTS2M
- Type: Shielded mains cable for Hi-Fi
- Length: 2 m
- Conductors: Pure copper 3 x 3 mm (10AWG)
- Connector: Schuko IEC, 16A 250V
- Connector pins: Brass
- Earthing: Yes
The TH-TPCTS2M mains cable is an earthed, double-shielded power cable for Hi-Fi systems, built with 3 x 3 mm (10AWG) pure copper conductors and a length of 2 m.
The cable has a Schuko plug and an IEC connector of type ETPC-TS, rated 16A 250V, with brass pins. The shielding of aluminium foil and braided copper counters interference in the signal path.
What makes the TH-TPCTS2M mains cable a strong choice for Hi-Fi systems?
The case rests on conductor area and shielding: three 3 mm (10AWG) pure copper conductors give low resistance in the power path, and the double shielding of aluminium foil and braided copper screens against interference. The earth conductor is pure copper, 99 %.
The cable construction, from the inside out:
- Oxygen-free copper conductors, 99 %, with filler tube
- HDPE insulation
- Braided pure copper, 99 %
- Inner PVC sheath
- Earth conductor of pure copper, 99 %
- Aluminium foil shield
- Outer PVC sheath
Applications for the TH-TPCTS2M mains cable
The mains cable is intended for powering Hi-Fi and hi-end audio equipment, where shielding and earthing against interference matter. The connectors are rated 16A 250V, and the 2 m length gives freedom of placement between wall socket and unit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the TH-TPCTS2M mains cable suitable for Hi-Fi equipment on a 16A connection?
Yes. The TH-TPCTS2M mains cable has a Schuko IEC connector of type ETPC-TS rated 16A 250V with brass pins, and 3 x 3 mm (10AWG) conductors. The length is 2 m.
What shielding does the TH-TPCTS2M mains cable have?
The cable is double-shielded with aluminium foil and braided copper, and has a separate earth conductor of pure copper, 99 %. An inner PVC sheath and HDPE insulation sit between the layers.
How does the TH-TPCTS2M mains cable differ from other mains cables?
The TH-TPCTS2M mains cable is earthed and double-shielded with aluminium foil and braided copper, and has 3 x 3 mm (10AWG) conductors in oxygen-free copper, 99 %. It is therefore designed for Hi-Fi rather than as an ordinary appliance lead.
