Detailed Description

Conductor Material

The C-USB cable uses heavy gauge, oxygen-free copper conductors that are silver-plated. This combination is designed to provide excellent signal integrity and low resistance, which helps in maintaining high-quality audio signal transmission.

Insulation

The conductors are insulated with low loss, gas-foamed polyethylene. This material is chosen for its excellent dielectric properties, which minimize signal loss and preserve the integrity of the audio signal over the length of the cable.

Data Conductor Configuration

The cable features a twisted pair data conductor configuration. This design helps in reducing electromagnetic interference and crosstalk between the data lines, ensuring a cleaner and more accurate audio signal.

Shielding

A dual layer, high frequency effective shielding is used in the C-USB cable. This shielding provides robust protection against external electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, which can degrade audio quality.

Connectors

The C-USB cable is terminated with gold-plated plugs and signal pins. Gold plating is used for its excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion, ensuring a long-lasting and reliable connection.
