Kimber Kable Carbon Ci8 Interconnect Cable

The electrostatically dissipative carbon polymer acts as a shield between the dielectric and the conductors. It is specifically designed to reduce mechanically induced electrical noise, which helps maintain a cleaner, more stable signal path.

The Ci8 is engineered to be neutral rather than additive. It aims to provide a natural sound profile that avoids artificial brightness or excessive warmth, allowing the original character of your components to come through.

These are analog interconnects designed for line-level signals, such as those between a DAC, CD player, or preamplifier and an amplifier. They are not intended for phono-level signals, which require specific capacitance and shielding characteristics.

The braided geometry helps manage the cable's electrical characteristics, such as inductance and capacitance. By using eight 19.5 AWG VariStrand conductors, the cable ensures consistent signal integrity and low resistance across the frequency spectrum.

No, this specific model is terminated with XLR connectors. You would need a different cable or a high-quality adapter, though using an adapter can potentially introduce signal degradation.

Despite the complex eight-conductor braid, the cable remains reasonably flexible. It is designed to be routed easily behind equipment racks without putting undue stress on your component's input or output jacks.
