Sommer Cable - - SC-MISTRAL MCF40 Almost as old as Methuselah... that's the multipair SC-MISTRAL MCF. We have been constructing it for almost 10 years using the same technique. The SC-MISTRAL MCF offers the PVC-insulation in pairs, common for studiocores. A wear-resistant number imprint is applied, as well as additional color-coding in steps of 8. The wire pairs of the SC-MISTRAL MCF have a pre-twisted drain wire and additional shielding made of AL/PT-foil. For additional protection against corrosion and oxidation both wired and the drain wire are tin-plated. This makes the cable easy to work with because the AL/PT-foil adheres to the outer jacket during stripping. The SC-MISTRAL MCF can be installed very easily and is easy to wind. We also recommend it for work with multicore adapters. Here the XLR- and jack connectors can be installed directly on the PVC-jacket. To keep the diameter small we equipped the MCF40 with 0.18 mm? wires.
