But, AES\/EBU also has its application in the domestic environment as well. While AES\/EBU can be single-ended, balanced, or optical, here we refer to the balanced-digital interconnect.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 data-ng-if=\"feature.title\" class=\"ng-binding ng-scope\"\u003eHARD-CELL FOAM INSULATION\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ng-binding\"\u003eHard-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 \u0026amp; Falls cables, and is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. Because nitrogen (like air) does not absorb energy and therefore does not release any energy from or into the conductor, distortion is reduced. In addition, the stiffness of the material allows the cable's conductors to maintain a stable relationship along the cable's full length, producing a stable impedance character and further minimizing distortion.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ng-binding\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ng-binding\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-ng-repeat-start=\"feature in product.features\" class=\"col-xs-12 product-specification ng-scope\" ng-class=\"{'has-image': !!feature.mainImage}\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 data-ng-if=\"feature.title\" class=\"ng-binding ng-scope\"\u003eCARBON-BASED 5-LAYER NOISE-DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS)\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ng-binding\"\u003eIt'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 System (NDS). 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. NDS's alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetics \"shield the shield,\" absorbing and reflecting most of this noise\/RF energy before it reaches the layer attached to ground.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ng-binding\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-ng-repeat-start=\"feature in product.features\" class=\"col-xs-12 product-specification ng-scope\" ng-class=\"{'has-image': !!feature.mainImage}\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 data-ng-if=\"feature.title\" class=\"ng-binding ng-scope\"\u003eFOIL + TINNED BRAID SHIELD\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-ng-repeat-start=\"feature in product.features\" class=\"col-xs-12 product-specification ng-scope\" ng-class=\"{'has-image': !!feature.mainImage}\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 data-ng-if=\"feature.title\" class=\"ng-binding ng-scope\"\u003eCOLD-WELDED, HANGING-SILVER DIRECTLY OVER PURE PURPLE COPPER TERMINATIONS\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ng-binding\"\u003eCold-Welded, Hanging-Silver Directly Over Pure Purple Copper Terminations\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ng-binding\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-ng-repeat-start=\"feature in product.features\" class=\"col-xs-12 product-specification ng-scope\" ng-class=\"{'has-image': !!feature.mainImage}\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 data-ng-if=\"feature.title\" class=\"ng-binding ng-scope\"\u003eSOLID 5% SILVER CONDUCTORS\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ng-binding\"\u003eSolid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications, like HDMI audio. 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 solid silver cable, but priced much closer to solid copper cable. This is an incredibly cost effective way of manufacturing very high-quality HDMI cables.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AudioQuest","offers":[{"title":"0.75 Meter","offer_id":29403074396220,"sku":"AQ CARBON XLR 0.75M","price":424.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.5 Meter","offer_id":29403074428988,"sku":"AQ CARBON XLR 1.5M","price":499.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Meter","offer_id":32028838821948,"sku":"AQ CARBON XLR 2M","price":574.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Meter","offer_id":29403074461756,"sku":"AQ CARBON XLR 3M","price":649.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 Meter","offer_id":29403074494524,"sku":"AQ CARBON XLR 5M","price":849.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1564\/1247\/products\/AES-EBU-Carbon.png?v=1741631643","url":"https:\/\/upscaleaudio.pro\/products\/audioquest-carbon-aes-ebu-digital-cable","provider":"Upscale Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
