About the Clear-Com IC-25-2P 25' 2-Pair Superflex 6-Pin Mic Cable
The Clear-Com IC-25-2P is a professional, 25-foot intercom cable engineered specifically for analog party-line communication systems. As a 2-pair cable with a 6-pin connector configuration, it is the standard for connecting beltpacks, remote stations, and other components within a Clear-Com system. The "Superflex" designation refers to its highly flexible and durable jacket, which is designed to withstand the constant bending, coiling, and physical stress of live production environments without cracking or compromising the internal conductors. This flexibility makes it easy to route around equipment, across floors, and through tight spaces in theaters, broadcast studios, and event venues, ensuring a neat and reliable installation.
Internally, the cable contains two individually shielded twisted pairs, which carry the balanced audio signals for communication. A key feature is the overall braided shielding that surrounds all conductors, providing robust protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This shielding is critical for maintaining clean, noise-free audio, especially when cables must run near power lines, dimmer racks, or other sources of electrical noise common in production settings. The 6-pin connector, often a Tuchel or EP-style connector, is wired to a standard pinout that carries power, audio send, audio return, and call signals for a complete intercom connection in a single plug.
Built for longevity, the IC-25-2P uses high-purity copper conductors for optimal signal transmission and features a tough outer jacket that is resistant to abrasion, oils, and chemicals. The 25-foot length offers a versatile solution for many typical connection distances between a main station or power supply and a user's beltpack, providing enough reach for mobility without excessive cable slack. As a fundamental component of a reliable intercom infrastructure, this cable ensures that power and clear audio are delivered consistently, supporting the uninterrupted communication that is vital for successful production coordination.
