Belden Inc. 1818P 010500 Audio Snake Cable 12 Pair

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 1818P 010500 is a 12-pair audio snake cable designed for multi-channel audio signal routing in professional and commercial audio installations. Built on a 22 AWG conductor configuration arranged in a 7 x 3 lay, this cable is engineered to carry balanced analog audio across multiple channels simultaneously. It is typically installed by audio-visual technicians, electricians, and low-voltage systems integrators in stage, broadcast, house-of-worship, and commercial AV environments where clean signal transmission across many channels is required in a single cable run.

This cable is suited for permanent or semi-permanent installations where multiple audio channels must be routed from a stage box or patch bay to a mixing console or amplifier rack. The 12-pair configuration supports up to 24 individual conductors, making it a practical choice for medium to large-scale audio setups. It is sold as a single unit (EA) and is categorized as a multimedia cable suitable for structured low-voltage wiring projects.

Key Features

• 12-pair construction carries up to 24 conductors in a single cable run
• 22 AWG conductor gauge suitable for balanced analog audio signal transmission
• 7 x 3 lay construction for consistent electrical performance along the cable length
• Sold per individual unit for flexible procurement
• Categorized as a multimedia cable for structured low-voltage installations

Compatibility

Designed as a multi-pair audio snake cable for use in professional AV, broadcast, and commercial audio signal distribution applications requiring 12-pair 22 AWG cabling.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or qualified AV systems integrator in accordance with applicable NEC low-voltage wiring guidelines. De-energize all connected audio equipment before terminating conductors at patch panels, stage boxes, or mixing consoles. Avoid routing signal cable parallel to or bundled with high-voltage power conductors to minimize induced noise and interference.
