These connectors are rugged and reliable and are the connector of choice for audio professionals around the world. They are particularly suited to QED's Tri-Conductor\u003csup\u003eTM\u003c\/sup\u003e geometry due to the additional ground spring contacts which make for better shell ground continuity for the unique electrostatic screen which is only connected at the source end of the cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eJust Listen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilver-plated conductors, LDPE dielectrics, and legendary build quality combine to create audible sonic improvements.

This reduces the signal to ground capacitance to vanishingly low levels affording the cable improved common mode rejection of mains hum pickup over ordinary \"hot cold and screen\" cables. This geometry is particularly effective in pro-hi-fi audio applications when connecting pre and power amps using balanced cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e99.999% Silver Plated Oxygen Free Copper 24 AWG Tri-Conductors with foamed PE dielectric\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQED Tri-Conductors provide a level of common-mode rejection not found in ordinary \"hot cold and screen\" cables\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUnique floating Zn\/Mn impregnated ferrite jacket\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e99.999% OFC outer shield braid for 100% electrostatic screening\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHigh-performance gold plated Neutrik XLR connectors with low contact resistance and high signal integrity\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConductor Section 0.25 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003csup\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nParallel Capacitance 35 pF\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf Inductance 0.8 μH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLoop resistance 0.130 Ω\/m\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDissipation Factor@10kHz 0.0001\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/strong\u003eNominal Outside Diameter 8 mm\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQED Lifetime Guarantee\u003cbr\u003e\nAvailable in custom terminated lengths.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOVERALL PERFORMANCE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFerrite Insulation Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike putting wooden wheels on a Ferrari, conventional RCA phono plugs have the potential to undo all of the hard work carried out by our carefully designed cordage.
