UNSHIELDED SHEATHED BRAIDED SPEAKER CABLE

A braided speaker cable with an unshielded jacket is a type of cable used to connect passive speakers to an amplification source (such as a power amp or AV receiver). It is characterized by its internal braided structure, an outer protective jacket, and the absence of shielding.

What does each part mean?

• Braided: The internal conductors (usually copper) are braided together. This helps to:

  • Passively reduce mild electromagnetic interference.

  • Maintain cable flexibility.

  • Provide better conductivity over medium distances.

• Unshielded jacket: It has an outer plastic or PVC jacket to protect the conductors but does not include metallic shielding. This means:

  • It is lighter and more cost-effective.

  • It does not protect against strong interference (such as power cables or nearby electronic equipment).

  • It is intended for use in environments with minimal interference sources.
