Mains Cable 2 m 10AWG Schuko IEC, Shielded Earthed for Hi-Fi

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.
