AUDIOQUEST CARBON USB LIGHTNING - APPLE CABLE

Digital signal cable for ultra-high definition audio with USB-A and LIGHTNING USB connectors (Apple standard for iPhone, iPod and iPad). Apple MFI certified

Available length: 1.5 metres. All other sizes can be ordered

No matter how you choose to connect with your music and media, AudioQuest knows how to provide a high quality cable specifically designed for each connection. AudioQuest's full line of USB cables includes four models now available with Apple's Lightning connector (used on all the latest iOS devices). Whether connecting mobile devices to the USB ports common to many car audio systems or streaming content to a high-quality home entertainment system, the signal cable needs very low distortion to achieve sound that is full-bodied, immersive, and three-dimensional. Being thin and flat is great for an iPhone or iPad, but music from these wonderful devices still doesn't sound the way it should without an Audioquest Lightning cable!

FEATURES

5% SILVER SEMI-SOLID CONCENTRIC CONDUCTORS: Semi-solid concentric conductors greatly reduce beach interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications, such as USB audio. These signals, being so high-frequency, almost exclusively on the conductor surface. 100% silver cable, but much closer to a copper cable. This is an incredibly economical way to produce high-quality USB cables

HARD-CELL INSULATION: Hard-cell insulation (HCF) ensures a critical signal pair geometry. Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire and circuit insulation.All materials absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Rigid foam insulation is similar to the PE foam used in our cheaper Bridges & Falls cables, and is injected with nitrogen to create air pockets. Since nitrogen (like air) does not absorb energy and therefore does not release energy, distortion is reduced. In addition, the stiffness of the material allows the cable conductors to maintain a stable relationship along the entire length of the cable, producing a stable impedance character and further reducing distortion.

3-LAYER CARBON NOISE DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS): 100% screen coverage is easy to achieve. Preventing radio frequency interference (RFI) from modulation of the equipment's earth reference requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation System (NDS). Conventional shielding systems typically absorb and then discharge noise/ RF energy to component ground, modulating and distorting the critical 'reference' ground plane, which in turn causes signal distortion. NDS has alternating layers of metal and carbon-filled synthetics 'shielding', absorbing and reflecting most of this noise.
