    Cable shield/drain wire 0.25mm² (24 AWG) Only genuine Tourflex Datasafe cable is recommended for use with the Color Block 2 Plus system. Damage will occur if power connections short-circuit to data or ground shield connections. When assembling XLR4- pin cables, heat shrink should be used on each individual data pin and the drain wire to prevent short circuits.
