Mains cable TH-ETPC-TS is a shielded, earthed power cable for Hi-Fi systems, built with pure copper conductors 3 x 3 mm² [10AWG] and double shielding against interference.
The connector is type ETPC-TS with brass pins, rated 16A 250V. The cable is fitted with Schuko and IEC connections and is intended for powering audio equipment.
What sets mains cable TH-ETPC-TS apart?
The cable has double shielding of PVC-coated aluminium foil and braided copper, which reduces interference to the audio signal. The conductors are pure oxygen-free copper and the cable is earthed through a separate pure copper earth conductor.
The construction from the outside in consists of the following layers:
- Outer PVC sheath
- Aluminium foil shielding
- Pure copper earth conductor 99%
- Inner PVC sheath
- Braided pure copper 99%
- HDPE insulation
- Pure oxygen-free copper conductor 99%
- Filler tube
Applications for mains cable TH-ETPC-TS
The mains cable is used to power Hi-Fi and hi-end audio systems where shielding against interference and good current conduction are priorities. The connector is rated 16A and 250V, which sets the limit for load and mains voltage.
