AudioQuest Carbon USB Cable

Silver is a highly conductive material that minimizes signal loss and distortion compared to standard copper. By using 5% silver-plated conductors, this cable ensures that high-frequency audio signals are transmitted with greater clarity and precision.

Yes. AudioQuest designs these cables with direction-controlled conductors to ensure that any induced radio-frequency noise is drained away from the sensitive audio circuitry. You will see arrows on the cable jacket indicating the correct signal flow, which should point from the source to the receiving device.

Absolutely. While it is engineered specifically to optimize high-definition audio performance, it functions perfectly as a standard USB 2.0 cable for both data transfer and charging your devices.

This system uses layers of carbon-loaded materials to absorb and dissipate radio-frequency interference before it can contaminate the audio signal. It effectively creates a shield that prevents external noise from entering the cable, resulting in a quieter, cleaner background for your music.

Standard insulation can sometimes cause signal distortion by absorbing energy. The hard-cell foam insulation used here maintains a stable geometry for the conductors, ensuring that the electrical characteristics remain consistent and reducing the potential for phase distortion.
