ALVA Analog Multicore Cable, 8 x TRS to 8 x XLR Male is a professional audio cable built by ALVA in Germany for RME and other D-Sub and multichannel audio equipment. Construction is Cable Color: black, Individually numbered XLR and TRS plugs, Cable Ø: 14 mm. Available in 2 m, 5 m.
The cable the interface was designed around, so the pinout is right and the channel numbers on the plugs match the ones on the screen.
Overview
ALVA is the cable and accessory brand built alongside RME, made in Germany to the same tolerances as the hardware it plugs into. Multicore assemblies use individually numbered fan-outs, so channel one at the console is channel one on the plug and there is no guessing during a load-in. D-Sub shells use the correct thread for the equipment they mate with, which is the detail generic cables get wrong.
These are the assemblies RME references in its own documentation for connecting converters, preamps and interfaces. Buying the matched cable removes a whole class of problem: wrong pinout standard, wrong thread, unshielded runs picking up hum, and connectors that back out of a D-Sub under vibration.

Why ALVA?
ALVA is made in Germany by the same group that distributes RME, which is why the pinouts, threads and channel numbering match the hardware exactly rather than approximately. The Pro series uses heavier gauge conductors and a 14 mm jacket built for repeated coiling and road use rather than a one-time install.
