Quick Facts — TAG000168 Shielded mains cable
- Model: TAG000168
- Type: Shielded mains cable for Hi-Fi
- Length: 1.3 m
- Connectors: Schuko - IEC C7
- Conductors: 2 x 3 mm (10AWG), pure copper
- Shielding: Double: aluminium foil and braided copper
Shielded mains cable for Hi-Fi systems with a Schuko plug at one end and IEC C7 16A 250V at the other. It is 1.3 m long with 2 x 3 mm (10AWG) pure copper conductors.
The cable has double shielding of aluminium foil and braided copper, aimed at interference in the audio chain. The contact pins are brass.
When does mains cable TAG000168 make the most sense in a Hi-Fi system?
The cable makes the most sense when Hi-Fi equipment with a C7 inlet is to be connected to a Schuko socket within 1.3 m and the power feed is to be shielded against interference. The conductors are 2 x 3 mm (10AWG) in pure oxygen-free copper 99%, insulated with HDPE.
The shielding consists of aluminium foil and a braided screen of pure copper 99%, set between an inner and an outer PVC sheath.
Applications for mains cable TAG000168 with IEC C7
The mains cable is used where an audio system needs a shielded power feed over a short distance:
- Powering Hi-Fi equipment with an IEC C7 inlet.
- Hi-end audio systems where mains interference is to be shielded.
- Upgrading the power cables of an existing music system.
