AudioQuest Carbon USB - C to B - 1.5 Meter

Description: AudioQuest Carbon USB Cable C to B 1.5 Meter Authorized Dealer Since 1980 - Factory Warranty Applies Semi-Solid Concentric 5% Silver Conductors Semi-Solid Concentric Conductors greatly reduce strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications, like USB audio. These signals, being such a high frequency, travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor. As the surface is made of high-purity silver, the performance is very close to that of a 100% silver cable, but priced much closer to a copper cable. This is an incredibly cost effective way of manufacturing very high-quality USB cables.Multi-Layer Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation This cable's negative conductors are covered with partially conductive Carbon-Loaded Polyethylene. This remarkable material reduces radio-frequency garbage being fed back into the amplifier. The sonic benefit is exactly the same reduction in "hash" and improved dimensionality that comes whenever RF interference is reduced in an audio circuit. In addition, a carbon layer damps interaction between positive and negative conductors, and an external Carbon-Based NDS System reduces external interference.Hard-Cell Foam Insulation Hard-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 & 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.Direction-Controlled Conductors All 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. =================================================== Check out our playlist on QOBUZ or TIDAL.

Proof of original purchase is required.For all other products, AudioQuest provides a limited, non-transferable, one-year warranty to original owners who purchased their product through an authorized AudioQuest dealer in the United States. At its option, AudioQuest will repair or replace any defective product that has not been abused, for up to one year from the original date of purchase. Proof of original purchase is required.Cables not terminated by AudioQuest that require service may be returned to AudioQuest with prior authorization and repaired for a fee.This warranty is not an upgrade program for AudioQuest HDMI cables that were designed to meet previous generations of HDMI specifications. Current AudioQuest models are designed to meet HDMI 2.0 (18Gbps) or HDMI 2.1 (48Gbps).All generations of HDMI cable will provide some, but not all, of the features made possible by HDMI 2.0 and 2.1. All generations of HDMI cable are backwards compatible—they provide all the capabilities of previous generations.To experience the audio/video benefits made possible by the latest HDMI 2.1 hardware, an HDMI cable must meet HDMI specifications, specifically an FRL-enabled bandwidth of 48Gbps.This warranty is valid in the United States only. For warranty policies in other countries, please contact your local dealer or distributor.Limitations and ConditionsThis warranty is subject to the following limitations and conditions:The unit will not be covered under the warranty if:• It has been altered or modified in any way.• It has been damaged due to misuse,negligence,accident or improper operation.• It has been subjected to water damage, or extremes of humidity or temperature.• It has been purchased from an unauthorized dealer, or unauthorized repair or service has beenperformed. For repairs and returns:• A request for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number must be made in writing or via phone to AudioQuest.• A return address and phone number must be included.• Returned product must be accompanied by the RMA number, a written description of the defect orissue, and a photocopy of the original purchase receipt.• Customer is responsible for paying shipping charges to AudioQuest.• If the product is found to be out of warranty, as in the conditions specified above, the customer will begiven the option to pay for the repairs or replacement, or to have the unit returned to them.Limited to original purchaser:• This Warranty is for the sole benefit of the original purchaser and shall not be transferred to a subsequent purchaser of the product. Warranty Outside the USA, Netherlands, Germany or the UKAudioQuest has authorized distributors in many countries of the world. In each country, the authorized distributor or dealer thereof has accepted the responsibility for warranty of products sold in their respective countries. Warranty service should normally be obtained from the authorized distributor or dealer from whom you purchased your product. In the unlikely event of service required beyond the capability of the distributor, AudioQuest will fulfill the conditions of the warranty. Such product must be returned at the owner’s expense to AudioQuest, together with a photocopy of the bill of sale for that product, a detailed description of the problem, and any information necessary for return shipment.AudioQuest makes no other express warranty of any kind whatsoever.
