Loop cable is a consumable on any hearing loop installation and is ordered by the spool against the calculated run length. Two colours are stocked so installers can keep the two legs of a phased array visually distinct during first fix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe loop conductor is the radiating element of a hearing loop system, and its gauge affects the loop resistance the driver has to work into. 14 AWG is the standard choice for perimeter runs at the areas most commercial rooms present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColour coding matters more than it first appears. A MultiLoop or phased array design runs two separate loop legs, and distinguishing them during first fix — before anything is terminated or tested — avoids a time-consuming trace later. Ordering one spool of each colour is standard practice on phased array work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCalculate run length from the loop design rather than the room perimeter, allowing for the drop back to the driver position and any deviation around structural openings.
