Goobay Flat Telephone Cable, 6-Core, AWG 28, CCA, 500 m Reel

The Goobay flat telephone cable is a high-quality solution designed for professional telecommunications and internal wiring projects. Featuring a 6-core configuration and constructed with CCA (copper-clad aluminum) conductors in an AWG 28 gauge, this cable provides a reliable connection for various communication systems. The cable is supplied on a convenient 500-meter reel, ensuring sufficient length for large-scale installations and custom cabling needs.

Advantages

The primary advantage of this flat telephone cable is its low-profile design, which allows for seamless installation under carpets, along baseboards, or through narrow conduits where round cables might be too bulky. The use of CCA conductors offers a cost-effective alternative to pure copper while maintaining the necessary conductivity for standard telephone and low-voltage signal transmission. The 500-meter reel format is ideal for installers who require consistent, high-quality cabling for multiple projects, minimizing waste and ensuring a tidy workspace.

Suitable for

• Internal telephone system wiring
• Low-voltage signal transmission
• Network cabling in residential or office environments
• Routing through tight spaces or under flooring

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for high-speed data transmission or applications requiring high-frequency bandwidth, such as modern Ethernet networks. Additionally, because it uses CCA conductors, it is not recommended for applications involving high power loads or environments where extreme mechanical stress or frequent bending could compromise the aluminum core.

Key specifications

• Cable type: Flat telephone cable
• Number of cores: 6
• Conductor material: CCA (copper-clad aluminum)
• Wire gauge: AWG 28
• Length: 500 meters
• Form factor: Reel

How to use

To use this cable, measure the required distance for your installation and cut the cable to length using appropriate wire cutters. Strip the outer insulation carefully to expose the 6 individual cores, ensuring the CCA conductors are not nicked or damaged during the process. Terminate the ends using compatible telephone connectors or terminal blocks according to your specific system requirements. Always ensure that the connections are secure and properly insulated to maintain signal integrity.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 6-core configuration matches your specific telephone or signal system requirements.
• Ensure that the AWG 28 gauge is sufficient for the length of your cable run to avoid signal loss.
• Confirm that your equipment is compatible with CCA conductors.
• Assess whether the 500-meter length is appropriate for your project scale.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends or kinks during installation, as the CCA material is more brittle than solid copper. Ensure that all connections are kept dry and free from oxidation to maintain long-term reliability.
