AudioQuest Carbon USB Cable

The AudioQuest Carbon cable uses solid 5% silver-plated conductors to minimize strand-interaction distortion and jitter. This helps preserve the timing of digital audio streams, resulting in a cleaner, more dimensional sound compared to standard cables.

Yes, this cable features directional conductors. The RF impedance is controlled to drain noise away from the most sensitive parts of the circuit, so you should ensure the cable is oriented according to the arrows on the connectors for optimal performance.

Yes, this specific model is designed as a USB-A to USB-C cable. It is intended for connecting USB-C enabled devices, such as modern MacBooks or smartphones, to equipment that uses a standard USB-A port.

The cable uses a multi-layer carbon-based shield that absorbs and dissipates radio frequency noise and crosstalk before it can interfere with the digital signal. This reduces the background noise floor, allowing for a clearer audio signal.

The cable is built with a robust strain-relief system designed to handle the wear and tear of daily connections and disconnections. While it is engineered for high-fidelity audio, it is sturdy enough for regular use with laptops and mobile devices.
