Audioquest Carbon Coaxial 3m

5-layer carbon-based Noise Dissipation System (NDS)

Achieving 100% coverage is easy. Preventing captured radio frequency interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment’s ground reference requires AQ’s Noise Dissipation System (NDS). Traditional shielding systems absorb and then drain noise/RF energy to the component’s ground, modulating and distorting the “critical” reference ground plane, which in turn causes signal distortion. NDS’s alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetic fibers “shield the shield,” absorbing and reflecting most of this noise/RF energy before it reaches the ground layer.

5% solid silver conductors for improved analog performance

Solid conductors eliminate strand interaction distortion, one of the main sources of cable distortion.
