2x0,25mm² + noise shield Cu musta balanced 120ohm DMX cable Thomann Ssnake SDK 120 BK (by meter) *new*

A wire is made of electrically conductive material, ie a conductor that is a wire or combination of multiple wires connected as part of the circuit. Commonly electrical wires are made out of copper or aluminum and they are insulated with plastic or rubber insulation. Electrical cable might contain connectors, which allows it to be connected as easily removable into it’s destination.

Multicore wire is referred as cable. Electrical wires and cables are manufactured for various purposes and for numerous applications: they are manufactured for high voltages, high temperatures and to resist mechanical stress (robot cables) and chemical stress (special bedding materials). Shielded cable is required In radio technology and information communication (structure has additional shielding sheath). With high frequency cable creates always a transmission line, which has it’s own transfer impedance, which is required to take into account when transferring signals.

Wire thickness is represented as cross-section area/mm². Most common thicknesses are 0,5; 0,75; 1,0; 1,5; 2,5; 4; 6; 10; 16 and 25 mm². Cable current carrying capability is depending on the cross-section area - under normal circumstances 1,5mm² copper conductor withstands about 10A current. The current that exceeds the wire’s rated current will heat up electrical conductor. Heating is non-beneficial phenomena in electrical transfer. Because of it electrical energy is transformed into heat energy and reducing transfer efficiency. Heating wire may also be a safety hazard for the environment as in a form of fire.

Cable technical properties:

• Application fields:
  • Suitable for DMX, AES, EBU, RS-485 (and other "120Ω" digital signals), balanced or stereo audio signals.
  • Easy to peel and solder, fairly durable yet flexible, easy to coil and does not kink easily.
• Inner leads:
  • 2x 0,25mm² (AWG23) leads made out of 30x 0,1mm individual leads, complying with IEC 228 Class 5 regulations
• Inner leads insulation:
  • XLPE (Polyolefin)
• Inner lead diameter:
  • 1,80 mm
• Inner lead identification:
  • Clear
  • Red
• Outer conductor (noise shield):
  • Tinned copper braid which shields >95% of cable and wraps inside PES film with 100% coverage 2x anti-kink polyolefin filler wires and inner leads
• Jacket:
  • Flame resistant flexible PVC, Complying with IEC 332.1 regulations
• Jacket nominal outer diameter:
  • 5,40mm
• Color:
  • Green
• Identification:
  • Thomann Ssnake SDK 120 BK
  • Disregarding this, Thomann does not actually manufacture the cables and because of that we strongly suspect that Proel has made this cable. This is cable is most likely Proel DMXD cable and the tech sheets match quite well with the Thomann one amd Thomann information differs a bit from the reality.
