Kimber Kable

The interconnect cables are similarly-designed to the Carbon 8 with 8, 19.5 gauge braided conductors with a seamless braided transition to right and left RCA or XLR connectors. They are an optimal analog interconnect for sources, preamplifiers and amplifiers.

They have taken material and design concepts from both their Axios USB cable and their earlier versions of the Kimber Select Line (KS2416, KS2426, and KS2436) and created a cable that surpasses both the performance and the fit and finish of the predecessors. Details about the construction and components of these new USB cables include:

• Greatly improved -/+ data pair with low density PTFE dielectric. The copper version uses silver plated copper and the HB and AG models use pure silver data pairs with pigment free PTFE dielectric. The data pair shielding is circumferentially bonded to the connector shell using pure, 0.003” thick silver foil for low RF impedance to ground. This is true for all models.
• Copper and Hybrid models use copper conductors for the 5v DC line while the Silver model uses pure silver conductors for the 5V DC line.
• By virtue of this robust new conductor design GEN 2 will function flawless even at 6 meter lengths.
• Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers are braided with the data and power conductors to maintain consistent geometry and greatly improve the durability. These special fibers are the same semi-crystalline polymers that have been trusted for decades by surgeons when performing total joint replacements for their mechanical properties and toughness/durability.
• Hand-finished wood shells are crafted from blood wood and gaboon ebony.
