Know before you buy
The 1.25% silver-plated conductors are designed to improve high-frequency signal transmission. By reducing distortion and jitter, this material helps maintain the clarity and detail of your high-definition digital audio files.
AudioQuest cables are direction-controlled to ensure that the internal metal structure is oriented for the lowest noise path. For the best performance, ensure the cable is connected with the signal flowing in the direction indicated by the arrows on the connectors.
While this cable is optimized for high-fidelity audio, it is fully capable of standard data transfer. It supports USB 2.0 speeds up to 480 Mbps, making it a versatile choice for both professional audio setups and everyday file transfers.
Hard-Cell Foam insulation is used to maintain stable conductor geometry. By keeping the conductors in a consistent position, the cable ensures stable impedance, which is critical for preventing signal degradation.
Yes, the metal-layer noise-dissipation shielding is highly effective at blocking external radio frequency and electromagnetic interference. This double-shielded design helps keep your digital signal clean and free from the noise that can cause jitter.
This cable utilizes a USB-C interface standard and is compatible with devices requiring a USB 2.0 data rate. While it features a USB-C connector, please note that it is rated for high-speed USB 2.0 data transfer speeds of 480 Mbps.
