Whirlwind W1800F Digital Audio Bulk Cable

W1800F is Belden 1800F carried under a Whirlwind part number: a 110 ohm AES/EBU cable using Datalene insulation to keep capacitance low, which is what holds the eye pattern open over a long digital run. Running AES on cable built for it, rather than on a spare analogue mic line, is the difference between a link that works and one that works until the room gets busy.

The Super Flexible version uses Belden's patented French Braid shield at 95 percent coverage and a jacket compound chosen for handling, so it coils instead of taking a set. It is a single pair of 24 GA conductors at .211 in. overall, 2.4 lb per 100 ft, with 1.75 dB per 100 ft attenuation at 3 MHz. Price shown is per foot.
