The Garland MCP2S is a professional-grade, 2-pair shielded data and communication cable designed to deliver reliable performance in RS-422 and other low-speed data transmission environments. Constructed with 4 conductors (2 twisted pairs) of 7/0.20mm tinned annealed copper wire (24AWG), this cable is optimized for signal integrity over longer distances and in electrically noisy environments.

Each pair is insulated with durable polypropylene and color-coded for ease of identification. A full aluminium polyester tape shield and a 24AWG TACW drain wire provide 100% coverage against EMI. Housed in a beige PVC outer sheath, this 300m boxed cable is ideal for professional installations in data, security, and industrial control systems.
