Extron Serial Control / Audio Cable Dual 22 Awg Shielded Twisted Pairs – 300 Mtr MX 22-160-03

Extron Serial Control / Audio Cable Dual 22 Awg Shielded Twisted Pairs – 300 Mtr MX 22-160-03

The MX Extron Serial Control / Audio Cable Dual 22 AWG Shielded Twisted Pairs – 300 Mtr MX-22-160-03 is engineered to deliver professional-grade performance for serial control systems and line-level audio signal transmission in commercial AV environments. This versatile cable is ideal for installations where signal clarity, shielding, and flexibility are paramount — whether you’re wiring RS-232 serial connections, low-voltage control circuits, or stereo audio paths across long distances.

At the heart of the MX-22-160-03 are dual 22 AWG shielded twisted pairs, each with its own individual drain wire, providing outstanding protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This superior shielding maintains signal integrity even in high-interference environments such as broadcast facilities, control rooms, conference halls, and digital signage applications.

The use of 22 AWG (American Wire Gauge) conductors ensures a robust signal path with low resistance, making this cable suitable for both analog and digital signal transmission. The twisted pair design further enhances noise immunity by minimizing the risk of crosstalk between conductors, which is critical in maintaining audio fidelity and precise control signal transmission. Whether you’re carrying balanced audio or data communication signals, this cable is optimized to deliver clear, distortion-free results over extended cable runs.

Another significant advantage of the MX Extron Serial Control / Audio Cable is its rugged yet flexible SuperFlex jacket. Designed with installation efficiency in mind, the SuperFlex outer jacket allows for easy routing around corners, through tight conduits, or into equipment racks without compromising cable integrity. Installers benefit from reduced setup time and fewer cable snags, especially in tight or confined spaces.

This cable is available in non-plenum rated versions, making it suitable for general-purpose use where plenum certification is not required. It’s ideal for use in walls, under floors, and in areas that don’t require fire-retardant plenum materials. It balances durability and flexibility, making it an excellent choice for both permanent and semi-permanent AV installations.

Adding to the installation convenience, the cable includes sequential numbering along the entire 300-meter (approximately 1,000 feet) spool, simplifying measurement, cutting, and identification during large-scale projects. This feature ensures that technicians can quickly and accurately deploy the exact cable length required, reducing waste and installation errors.

Whether you’re integrating the cable with matrix switchers, AV control processors, distributed audio systems, or remote wall plates, the MX Extron Serial Control / Audio Cable MX-22-160-03 is purpose-built for high reliability and consistent performance. Its robust construction and carefully engineered electrical properties make it a go-to solution for integrators and system designers who value efficiency and signal integrity.

Designed for serial control/audio signal applications, this cable excels in handling RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 protocols, as well as low-impedance line-level stereo or mono audio signals. Its dual twisted pair structure also allows flexibility in using one pair for signal and the other for return path or future expansion.

In summary, the MX Extron Serial Control / Audio Cable Dual 22 AWG Shielded Twisted Pairs – 300 Mtr MX-22-160-03 is a high-performance solution tailored for modern AV and control systems. With its individually shielded twisted pairs, sequential numbering, SuperFlex jacket, and 305-meter spool, it delivers the quality, versatility, and ease of use demanded by today’s complex AV environments. Whether you’re wiring a campus, conference center, or enterprise control system, this cable offers rock-solid reliability and professional-grade results.
