Audio cable Procab CMC222-CCA, 22 AWG conductors, 300 m, black

Procab CMC222-CCA is a 300 m audio cable with 22 AWG conductors and a black jacket designed for fixed installations and event wiring. The cable uses copper-clad aluminum conductors arranged in a fine stranded construction, with individual foil shielding and a drain wire to ensure reliable signal transmission and straightforward termination. The smooth, durable outer jacket eases pulling in conduits and across stages while the cable’s construction maintains flexibility for long runs between consoles, stage equipment and PA systems.

Advantages

The cable meets Cca fire performance requirements under the Construction Product Regulation, delivering reduced flame spread and limited smoke emission in fixed installations. Individual foil shielding combined with a drain conductor provides strong immunity to electromagnetic interference and ensures stable audio performance in electrically noisy environments. The thin but dense 22 AWG stranded conductors balance conductivity and flexibility for longer audio runs where copper-clad aluminum conductors are acceptable.

Suitable for

• Long audio runs between mixing consoles and stage or PA systems
• Fixed installations in theatres, auditoria, conference rooms and public venues
• Temporary event installations where reduced cable weight and flexible handling are required
• Microphone and line-level balanced or unbalanced audio connections where CCA conductors are appropriate

Key specifications

• Cable length: 300 m
• Conductor gauge and type: 22 AWG (0.34 mm²), copper-clad aluminum, fine stranded
• Shielding: individual aluminium foil per pair with drain wire
• Outer jacket: smooth, durable black sheath suitable for installation and pulling
• Fire performance: Euroclass Cca-s1b,d2,a1 (reduced flame spread and limited smoke/combustion products)
• Construction: flexible stranded pairs designed for audio signal transmission

How to use

Route the cable through cable trays, conduits or across stage runs, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tensile load. Strip the outer jacket and foil carefully to expose conductors and drain wire, then terminate to connectors or terminal blocks according to the equipment’s wiring scheme (balanced or unbalanced). Maintain correct polarity for stereo and multi-channel runs, and secure cables with appropriate clips or ties to prevent strain on terminations. For long runs, consider proper grounding practices to minimise hum and interference.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable in fixed installations where Cca fire performance is required; select copper connectors or crimps suitable for copper-clad aluminum conductors and follow manufacturer guidance for termination to ensure good electrical contact. For critical or very high-performance audio links, choose solid copper conductors instead of CCA where maximum conductivity is needed.
