A solid, silver-coated centre conductor is used to maintain the most uniform impedance. A solid conductor minimizes signal reflections, a characteristic that is crucial to accurate digital data transmission. This centre conductor is encased in DH Labs’ proprietary Air-PTFE Matrix dielectric, featuring an astonishingly low dielectric constant of 1.4. This material yields the lowest loss and most uniform attenuation versus frequency curve of any dielectric material.

Noise rejection is maximized by a 2 Layer shield. This provides 100% coverage for complete noise immunity. The combination of an aluminium Mylar shield and a heavy braid keeps ground resistance as low as possible. The braid is precision wound with carefully controlled tension to minimize a phenomenon called “VSWR spikes”, more commonly referred to as jitter.

The result of these efforts is a cable that delivers precise signal transmission with optimal balance and superior dynamics to well beyond 2 Gigahertz.
