When opinions differ …… then silver-plated audio cables are a popular topic for discussion. From a purely technical point of view, this precious metal has the best electrical conductivity of all metals. As far as the sonic impression is concerned, opinions on sense and nonsense of such cables often differ greatly. Here we try to shed a light into the darkness. Those different opinions are because silver, due to natural oxidation, is “alive“. Unlike copper oxyde, silver oxyde is conductive, i.e. its electrical and mechanical properties can vary slightly over a longer period of time. This also causes the tone color to change, which is why we may observe different audiophile impressions and some musicians or hi-fi enthusiasts perceive the sound of a silver cable as rather neutral, cool, or treble-prone. Of course, we want to avoid such irritations and discussions and therefore use only tightly, concentrically stranded class 6N (OFC 99. 9999%) copper wires for the SC-SILVER STAGE which are then refined and smoothed with the ultimate grade silver alloy (935/1000) so they will deliver lasting performance and can be processed also with silver solder neatly and without electrical losses. The SC-SILVER STAGE is fitted with the most advanced gas-injected and smoothed wire insulation.Advantages:Incredibly clear, clean sound imagePermanently neutral transmission, even after frequent useFlexible and robust outer jacket of a temperature resistant PVC compundSurge impedance 120 ohms, within the AES/EBU tolerancesApplication:Upscale microphone cable for studio and stageBalanced cable for high-grade microphones, mixing consoles and patchbays

The high-traction allrounder:
Microphone Cable SC-MICRO DUO ARAMID; 2 x 0,14 mm²; S-PVC; black
$7.47*
200-0171
All good things come from above…unless it’s a falling microphone! To avoid future collateral damages at concert recordings, we have developed the new twin-pair SC-MICRO DUO ARAMID . It’s the perfect solution for surround and multi-channel recordings, especially when the microphone is hanging from the ceiling or the cable is exposed to strong tensile forces. To absorb the weight of the microphones, fillers made of braided aramid fibers have been incorporated as an extra strain relief. Compared to a steel rope, these have no negative influence on the electrical properties (e.g. the attenuation). Thus the SC-MICRO DUO ARAMID shines with a low capacitance, it is AES/EBU and DMX capable (110 ohms) and, due to its concentrically braided OFC wires, ensures an optimized, neutral transmission.Advantages:Aramid reinforcement for extra strain relief (max. tensile strength: 100 kg/total, 30 kg/Kevlar bundle)Very supple, cold flexible and drumableAvailable without imprint: 200-0171NEVery low capacitanceApplication:High-quality microphone cable for surround recordings (ceiling mount)High-quality cable for studio connectionsRobust cable for audio looms and line connections

The 12G video broadcast class:
video cable SC-Vector PLUS 1.3/5.7 4K; 1 x 1,30; PVC Ø 8,10 mm; black; Eca
$11.67*
600-0131
The eye of an eagle …has a resolution about 3 to 4 times higher than that of the human eye. Thus the 12G UHD-SDI transmission standard enables such high visual resolutions that the human eye cannot distinguish them any more from the original scene. Owing to its compact diameter of 8 mm (0.31 in.) and the optimized shielding construction, the VECTOR 1.3/5.7 has extremely low attenuation values which so far have only been known from much thicker cables. For the conductor we use a silver-plated solid wire with ultra low tolerances, embedded in a gas-injected (skin/gas/skin) insulation which is smoothed both inside and out. The triple shielding, which consists of two robust, elastic AL/PTE foils and a tight, tin-plated copper braid with 95 % coverage, prevents from interference and impact on the electrical values. These high-class parameters ensure a perfect and error-free transmission of the following standards: SMPTE 259M (520m / 1700 ft.), SMPTE 292M (146m / 480 ft.), SMPTE 424M (99m / 325 ft.), SMPTE 425M (199m / 653 ft.), SMPTE 2081 (136m / 446 ft.) and SMPTE 2082 (94m / 308 ft.). The robust outer jacket consists of a cold flexible, durable and UV resistant S-PVC.Advantages:Triple shielding with 100% coverageExtremely durable and temperatur resistant components (silver-plated wires, smoothed insulation, UV resistant jacket)Super low attenuation and so thinApplication:Digital HD/UHD-SDI 4K long-distance transmissionConnections for radio, broadcasting and surveillance technology, cables for stadium building and generally for sports eventsIdeal broadband, antenna and video cable

$5.27*
580-0802FC
The Transrapid among network cablessupports a bandwidth of up to 40 Gbit/s and is suitable for setting up high-speed Ethernet networks in building cabling. The CAT.8 network cable in the halogen-free LSZH jacket impresses with large performance reserves and excellent quality, among others to meet the standards IEC 60332-1-2, IEC 60754-1/2, IEC 61034-1/2 as well as the high fire protection class B2ca (flame retardant, low heat release). It has a high-quality 2-fold shielding of individually shielded wire pairs (PimF) plus overall braiding of tinned copper and is suitable for applications up to a transmission frequency of 2000MHz, as well as Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+), the transmission of digital and analog signals, video, data, voice and VoIP (Voice over IP). The cable meets all requirements according to application class 1, which provides for a maximum link length of 30m, and is backward compatible with CAT.7a, CAT.7, CAT.6a, CAT.6, CAT5e and CAT.5 categories.
