PROEL HPC110 BLUE - "Noiseless" Coaxial Instrument Cable with Double OFC Shielding
The Proel HPC110 in blue is an industry-leading coaxial instrument cable, meticulously designed for musicians and technicians who demand pure, interference-free signal transmission. Manufactured to Proel's strict Italian quality standards, this cable features "Noiseless" technology, a critical feature for avoiding the annoying hum and microphone noise that often plague stages and recording studios.
Its internal construction is based on the use of high-purity Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) , which guarantees superior conductivity and delays cable oxidation over time. Unlike generic cables, the HPC110 implements an intelligent double-shielding system: a layer of conductive thermoplastic/graphite surrounding the center conductor and a dense copper spiral covering the entire assembly. This architecture effectively eliminates electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI), ensuring that the tone of your guitar, bass, or keyboard reaches the amplifier exactly as it was played.
Flexibility is another of its strengths. Thanks to its 60 Shore soft PVC outer jacket, the cable is extremely malleable, making it easy to handle, coil, and deploy in live situations, without sacrificing the robustness needed to withstand stomping and mechanical stress.
Main features
-
Noiseless Technology: Incorporates a conductive graphite/PVC jacket over the main insulation to eliminate triboelectric (motion noise) and static noise.
-
High-purity OFC copper: 23 AWG (0.25 mm²) center conductor that ensures low electrical resistance and transparent signal transmission.
-
Double shielding: Combination of conductive PVC screen and a flexible copper spiral with 95% coverage for maximum protection against external noise.
-
Soft-PVC Cover: Flexible PVC outer covering, 6.4 mm in diameter, abrasion resistant and easy to manage on stage.
-
Low capacitance: Designed with optimized capacitance (120 pF/m) to preserve the brightness and natural harmonics of high impedance instruments.
Benefits for the musician and the technician
Using the Proel HPC110 cable transforms the connection experience. For guitarists and bassists, it means maintaining tonal integrity, especially in the high frequencies that are often lost with poor-quality cables. Its vibrant blue color not only provides a distinctive aesthetic but is also extremely useful for cable organization and management on complex stages or pedalboards, allowing for quick identification of instrument lines from other standard black microphone or power cables.
Furthermore, its robust mechanical construction ensures a long lifespan, reducing the need for frequent replacements. The ease with which its components can be soldered also makes it a favorite choice for those who manufacture their own custom cables.
Ideal use cases
-
Live instrument connection: Ideal for electric guitars, basses, keyboards and synthesizers on stages of any size.
-
Recording studios: Perfect for capturing clean signals directly to the interface or amplifier without background noise.
-
Pedalboard cabling: Its flexibility and shielding quality make it excellent for interconnecting effects pedals and racks.
-
Fixed installations: Rehearsal rooms, academies and theaters where constant reliability and durability are required.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does it mean for the cable to be OFC?
It stands for "Oxygen Free Copper." It's a refining process that removes oxygen impurities, improving electrical conductivity and making the wire more resistant to internal corrosion.
-
Is this cable suitable for microphones?
No. This is a coaxial (unbalanced) cable specifically designed for instruments. Microphones typically require balanced cables with two conductors plus shielding.
-
Is it difficult to roll up?
No, thanks to its "60 Shore" hardness PVC cover, the cable has a very low memory effect and great flexibility, making it easy to collect after the show.
-
Why is it called "Noiseless"?
Because it includes a special layer of conductive PVC (or graphite) under the braid. This layer drains the static electricity generated when moving or stepping on the cable, eliminating the creaking typical of cheaper cables.
