For digital cables, whose signals are of such high frequency that they travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor, increasingly thick layers of silver plating are applied to AudioQuest's Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors to further improve Noise-Dissipation. Placing the superior metal on the outside of the conductor produces the greatest benefit on overall performance—a superbly cost-effective way to maximize a digital cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetal-Layer Noise-Dissipation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's easy to accomplish 100% shield coverage. Preventing captured radio-frequency interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment's ground reference requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation. 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. Noise-Dissipation \"shields the shield,\" absorbing and reflecting most of this noise\/RF energy before it reaches the layer attached to ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHard-Cell Foam Insulation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHard-Cell Foam (HCF) Insulation ensures critical signal-pair geometry. Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Hard-Cell Foam Insulation is similar to the Foamed-PE used in our more affordable Bridges \u0026amp; Falls cables, and is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. Because nitrogen (like air) does not absorb energy and therefore does not release any energy from or into the conductor, distortion is reduced. In addition, the stiffness of the material allows the cable's conductors to maintain a stable relationship along the cable's full length, producing a stable impedance character and further minimizing distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirection-Controlled Conductors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll drawn metal strands or conductors have a non-symmetrical, and therefore directional, grain structure. AudioQuest controls the resulting RF impedance variation so that noise is drained away from where it will cause distortion. The correct direction is determined by listening to every batch of metal conductors used in every AudioQuest audio cable. When applicable, arrows are clearly marked on the connectors to ensure superior sound quality. For most models of AQ cable, the arrows not only indicate the direction that optimizes metal-directionality as part of Noise-Dissipation, but also indicates non-symmetrical attachment of shield and GND in order to optimize full-system performance. A fundamental aspect of AudioQuest's multifaceted Noise-Dissipation technology, Direction-Controlled Conductors ensure induced noise is dissipated and drained properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePerformance Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid conductors help eliminate strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB A\/B cable designed to transport digital audio, Internet and computer data\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal conductors controlled for digital audio direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid 1.25% silver-plated long-grain copper conductors reduce jitter and distortion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuperior RF noise rejection for cleaner audio signal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStable impedance characteristics throughout cable length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-end DACs (Digital-to-Analog Converters)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfessional audio interfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudio recording equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudiophile home theater systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComputer audio playback systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB-connected audio devices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Audioquest","offers":[{"title":"0.75m","offer_id":31569126064222,"sku":"","price":2195.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.5m","offer_id":41792684490846,"sku":"","price":2795.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3m","offer_id":41792685277278,"sku":null,"price":3595.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2577\/1494\/files\/audioquest-cinnamon-usb-a-b-65-088-12-075-m-2-ft-6-in-998387.webp?v=1750152772","url":"https:\/\/www.ultrasound.co.za\/products\/audioquest-cinnamon-usb-cable-a-to-b-digital-audio","provider":"Ultra Sound \u0026 Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
