The Garland MC147S is a high-integrity 7-core shielded security cable, designed to provide reliable signal transmission in extra-low voltage (ELV) applications where signal interference must be minimized. Each conductor comprises 14 strands of 0.20mm tinned copper (PACW), offering exceptional flexibility and conductivity.
Shielded with aluminium polyester tape and a 24AWG tinned annealed copper wire (TACW) drain wire, this cable ensures strong EMI and RFI protection. The insulation and outer sheath are made from durable PVC, and each roll is printed for traceability. The MC147S is ideal for alarm systems, intercommunication wiring, and access control installations, and meets all key standards for the Australian and New Zealand markets.
