GEOMETRY STABILIZING SOLID HIGH-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE INSULATION

SOLID PERFECT-SURFACE SILVER (PSS) CONDUCTORS

Perfect-Surface Technology applied to extreme-purity silver provides unprecedented clarity and dynamic contrast. Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) is AudioQuests highest-quality metal. Solid conductors prevent strand interaction, a major source of cable distortion. Extremely high-purity Perfect-Surface Silver minimizes distortion caused by the grain boundaries that exist within any metal conductor, nearly eliminating harshness and greatly increasing clarity compared to OFHC, OCC, 8N and other coppers.

HIGH-SPEED DATA CAPACITY

The Cat 7 cable standard has been created to allow 10-Gigabit Ethernet over 100 m of copper cabling.

PRECISION-MADE LOW-LOSS ULTRA-WIDE BANDWIDTH CONNECTORS WITH 100% SHIELD COVERAGE AND STRAIN RELIEF

DIELECTRIC-BIAS SYSTEM WITH RADIO FREQUENCY TRAP

All insulation between two or more conductors is also a dielectric whose properties will affect the integrity of the signal. When the dielectric is unbiased, dielectric-involvement (absorption and non-linear release of energy) causes different amounts of time delay (phase shift) for different frequencies and energy levels, which is a real problem for very time-sensitive multi-octave audio. The inclusion of an RF Trap (developed for AudioQuest’s Niagara Series of power products), ensures that radio-frequency noise will not be induced into the signal conductors from the DBS field elements.

ALL CONDUCTORS CONTROLLED FOR RF NOISE DIRECTIONALITY

CARBON-BASED 3-LAYER NOISE-DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS)

Its easy to accomplish 100% shield coverage. Preventing captured Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from modulating the equipments ground reference requires AQs Noise-Dissipation System (NDS). Traditional shield systems typically absorb and then drain noise/RF energy to component ground, modulating and distorting the critical "reference" ground plane, which in turn causes a distortion of the signal. NDSs alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetics "shield the shield," absorbing and reflecting most of this noise/RF energy before it reaches the layer attached to ground.
