Description

The Mercury 1 core lap screen cable is a 0.20mm² single-conductor shielded cable built with 7 strands of 0.19mm tinned copper, a 33-strand braided screen at 0.15mm per strand, cotton infill, and a grey PVC outer sheath at 3mm overall diameter. The tinned copper conductor resists oxidation and maintains consistent signal transmission over time, while the braided screen provides 360-degree shielding against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference.

Designed for fixed professional audio installations, the cable suits microphone lines, line-level audio runs in PA systems, stage monitor feeds, and control signal wiring in commercial sound systems. The 100m reel length supports medium-run installations in theatres, conference centres, houses of worship, and permanent event spaces without requiring mid-run joins. The lap screen construction allows the braided shield to be folded back and soldered directly to connector shells or crimped terminals.

The grey PVC sheath provides abrasion resistance during installation and protection against dust and moisture in fixed installations, though the cable is not rated for outdoor or wet-location use. The 3mm diameter keeps the cable flexible enough for tight routing behind walls and through conduit while remaining substantial enough to survive typical commercial installation handling. The cotton infill between the conductor and screen maintains the circular cross-section and prevents the PVC sheath from collapsing onto the screen during sharp bends.

Frequently Asked

What's the difference between lap screen and spiral screen construction?

Lap screen uses a braided shield with overlapping coverage, providing 360-degree shielding and allowing the screen to be folded back and terminated easily. Spiral screen wraps conductors in a helical pattern and is typically lighter but offers less complete coverage. Lap screen is standard for professional audio installations where interference rejection matters.

What signal level is this cable rated for?

The 0.20mm² conductor suits microphone-level and line-level audio signals. It is not suitable for high-current applications like speaker runs or power distribution. Typical use cases include balanced microphone lines, mixer-to-amplifier connections, and control signal wiring in PA systems.

Can the cable be used outdoors?

No. The PVC sheath is designed for fixed indoor installations. Outdoor or wet-location applications require cable with UV-resistant outer jackets and moisture barriers, typically specified as outdoor-rated or direct-burial cable.

How is the screen terminated?

The braided screen is folded back over the grey PVC sheath, exposing the conductor for termination. The screen is then soldered or crimped to the connector shell to provide the earth/ground connection. XLR and jack connectors typically have a dedicated screen termination point on the shell.
