Audioquest DragonTail rallonge USB A 2.0

Introducing the AudioQuest DragonTail USB A 2.0 Extender

The AudioQuest DragonTail USB A 2.0 Extender is a thoughtfully designed accessory that plays a crucial role in enhancing the connectivity and performance of USB devices. This product is particularly useful when the physical configuration of ports on a computer or other devices limits the use of bulky USB peripherals.

Design and Construction

The DragonTail features semi-solid conductors made of 5% silver, which minimizes strand-interaction distortion and reduces jitter. These conductors are particularly effective for very high-frequency applications, such as audio and HDMI video, as these signals travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor.

Hard-Cell Foam (HCF) insulation ensures critical signal-pair geometry stability. This insulation is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets, reducing distortion as nitrogen, like air, does not absorb energy and therefore does not release it back into the conductor.

The Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation System minimizes radio-frequency interference, thus reducing radio-frequency noise modulation effects. Additionally, a layer of carbon damps interaction between positive and negative conductors, and an external Carbon-Based NDS System reduces external interference.

Flexibility and Safety

One of the key features of the DragonTail USB A 2.0 Extender is its flexibility. This characteristic not only makes it easier to connect in tight spaces but also enhances safety when using USB devices in mobile environments, such as on airplanes. The flexibility ensures that the extender and connected device can be positioned in a way that reduces the risk of damage.

Compatibility and Performance Enhancement

The DragonTail USB A 2.0 Extender is designed to be compatible with a wide range of USB devices, including AudioQuest’s own DragonFly DAC, USB thumb drives, and other peripherals that may be too bulky to fit next to occupied ports. By facilitating a secure and stable connection, the extender significantly improves audio performance when used with external USB DACs, making it an essential accessory for audiophiles and professionals seeking the best quality sound reproduction.

Benefits

• Minimizes signal distortion: The use of silver-plated semi-solid conductors and hard-cell foam insulation ensures minimal signal loss and reduced distortion.
• Reduces interference: Carbon-loaded polyethylene and the external carbon-based noise dissipation system effectively reduce radio frequency interference.
• Enhances flexibility: Its flexible design allows for easier connection of USB devices in tight spaces and improves safety in mobile environments.
• Improves audio performance: When used with external USB DACs, the DragonTail significantly enhances audio quality, making it ideal for audiophiles.
• Maintains signal integrity: The careful design and choice of materials ensure that signal integrity is preserved, resulting in cleaner and more accurate audio and data transmission.
