AudioQuest Cinnamon USB-C High-Definition Digital Audio Cable - Each - Red/Black USBCIN201.5CC (4.92 ft.)

Cinnamon USB features high-purity 1.25% Silver conductors and a Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation for the most efficient dissipation of radio-frequency noise.FeaturesLong-Grain Copper with 1.25% Silver-PlatingSemi-Solid Concentric ConductorsMetal-Layer Noise-DissipationDirection ControlledSemi-Solid Concentric 1.25% Silver ConductorsSemi-Solid Concentric Conductors greatly reduce strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications like USB audio and video. 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 solid copper cable. This is an incredibly cost effective way of manufacturing very high-quality USB cables.Metal-Layer Noise-DissipationIt's easy to accomplish 100% shield coverage. Preventing captured radio-frequency interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment's ground reference requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation. Traditional shield systems typically absorb and then drain noise/RF energy to component ground modulating and distorting the critical "reference" ground plane which in turn causes a distortion of the signal. Noise-Dissipation "shields the shield" absorbing and reflecting most of this noise/RF energy before it reaches the layer attached to ground.Hard-Cell Foam InsulationHard-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-
