The Garland MC144S is a high-performance 4-core screened cable designed for secure signal transmission in environments where interference must be minimized. Featuring 14 strands of 0.20mm tinned copper (PACW) conductors, this cable is shielded with aluminium polyester tape and equipped with a 24AWG tinned copper drain wire (TACW) for effective grounding.

Each core is insulated in durable PVC (Red, Blue, Yellow, Green), and the entire assembly is protected by a robust grey PVC outer sheath. The MC144S is ideal for use in RS-422, X.27, and similar interface applications, as well as for wiring security sensors, keypads, and alarm modules.

Compliant with AS/ACIF S008, BS4737-3.30, and AS 1049, this 100m cable roll is a trusted solution for low-voltage signal and security wiring in commercial and residential installations.
