Clear-Com Microphone Cable Recommendations (Capacitance Versus Distance)

Standard microphone cables impose distance limitations at their upper limits due to cable capacitance.

If your priority is audio quality, experiment with attaching one or two fewer devices to each line. Your choice of topology (daisy chain, star or tree) may also impact audio quality over distance.

Manufacturer	Cable type	Gauge (AWG)	Style	Attenuation / 100m
Belden	9463f	20	Std	16 dB
Belden	9207	20	Std	9 dB
Belden	1533P	24	Cat5e	11 dB
