The SCS - 18

The SCS - 18 is an 18 gauge, 19 strand single-lead.
Each strand is made of very high grade Matched Crystal (MC) OFC covered with a dense and very pure silver coating.
The resistance of this wire is: 17.8 Ohm/km.
The total metal cross-section area is: 0.97 mm².
The external diameter is: 1.82 mm.
The insulation is made of PTFE.
The diameter is too small to make a clear type printing on this wire.
The main application area of this wire is internal interconnect wiring in pre and power amplifiers.
Four times SCS - 18 twisted together (with clockwise conductor wiring +-+- = starquad) makes a very fine interconnect.
The insulation voltage rating is 600 Volt RMS and the actual test voltage is 3500 Volt RMS.
The SCS - 18 is available in 9 colours: black, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, grey and white.

The SCS - 18 is available on 100 or 200 meter reels.
