PROEL HPC110 BLACK - "Noiseless" OFC Coaxial Instrument Cable
The Proel HPC110 is a benchmark instrument cable in the professional audio industry, specifically designed to ensure pure, interference-free signal transmission. Manufactured to Proel's rigorous Italian engineering standards, this coaxial cable stands out for its "Noiseless" construction, making it the ideal choice for discerning musicians, sound engineers, and custom cable manufacturers seeking reliability on stage and in the studio.
The core of this cable lies in its Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductor, a high-purity material that ensures superior electrical conductivity and minimal resistance, preserving the integrity of your instrument's treble tones and natural dynamics. Unlike standard cables, the HPC110 incorporates a double shielding system: a layer of conductive thermoplastic (graphite) that eliminates microphonic noise generated by the cable's physical movement, and a dense copper spiral that effectively blocks electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).
Its flexible 60 Shore PVC outer sheath offers a perfect balance between robustness and malleability. With an approximate diameter of 6.5 mm, it's resistant to being stepped on, twisted, and the typical rough handling of touring, without losing the flexibility needed to easily coil and uncoil it. Whether connecting an electric guitar, bass, keyboards, or effects pedals, the Proel HPC110 ensures that the sound reaching the amplifier is exactly what comes out of your instrument.
Main features
-
"Noiseless" Technology: Incorporates a conductive graphite jacket under the mesh to eliminate triboelectric noise (handling noise).
-
High Purity OFC Copper: 23 AWG center conductor that maximizes signal transfer and reduces long-term oxidation.
-
Double Shielding: Total protection through copper spiral with 95% coverage and additional semiconducting layer.
-
Low Capacitance: Electrically designed (120 pF/m) to prevent the loss of high frequencies, maintaining the brightness and presence of the sound.
-
Extreme Durability: "Soft-touch" PVC cover resistant to abrasion and extreme temperatures (-20°C to +70°C).
Benefits for the musician and the technician
For guitarists and bassists, the greatest benefit of the HPC110 is its sonic transparency . By reducing parasitic capacitance, the cable doesn't act as a tone filter, allowing the nuances of passive pickups to shine through clearly. For technicians and cable assemblers, the quality of the materials greatly simplifies the soldering process; the polyethylene (PE) insulation withstands heat well without deforming, ensuring solid and durable connections at the jack connectors.
Use cases
-
Live Instrument Connection: Ideal for electric guitars, basses and electro-acoustic guitars on noisy stages.
-
Recording Studios: Perfect for cable runs where absolute silence and signal fidelity are critical.
-
Pedalboards: Excellent for making custom patch cables due to their flexibility and low noise.
-
Keyboards and Synthesizers: Safe transmission of unbalanced line signals without hum.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is this cable stereo or mono?
It is a mono (unbalanced) coaxial cable, specifically designed for instruments such as guitars and basses.
-
Is the cable rigid or flexible?
Thanks to its 60 Shore PVC cover and flexible copper spiral, it is very manageable and easy to store, avoiding the "memory effect".
-
What does OFC mean?
It stands for "Oxygen Free Copper." It's a refining process that removes impurities to improve conductivity and sound.
-
Does it work for speaker/load signals?
No, this is an instrument signal cable. It should not be used to connect amplifier heads to speaker cabinets.
