Coaxial cables are essential for many audio systems, including word clocks, which are the core of recording systems. In today's digital-centric audio systems, the role of digital cables is increasingly important, and their quality has a significant impact on the entire system.
The AS-808V2 series is a professional-grade coaxial cable featuring Oyaide Electric's precision conductor 102SSC.
By using 1.0mm diameter 102SSC copper solid wire and a Cordel structure that provides ideal insulation similar to air insulation, resistance and dielectric loss are minimized, ensuring accurate transmission of digital audio signals and word clocks.
The precisely set impedance also prevents problems such as noise and dropouts. This 75Ω digital coaxial cable is ideal for word clock connections between clock generators and other clock-generating/receiving devices, S/PDIF connections to DACs, audio interfaces, and DJ equipment, and for video equipment.
The precision conductor 102SSC is used for the center conductor. "102SSC" uses only virgin copper, without any recycled copper, and is made using a wide range of techniques, including mechanical peeling to remove copper impurities, wire drawing using natural diamond dies, and two annealing processes during the process, to achieve an extremely smooth conductor surface (Special Surface Copper).
The result is superior conductivity (102.3% IACS) that far exceeds that of ordinary copper wire.
The wire diameter is also within ±1μm, far exceeding the standard error tolerance of ±8μm. Furthermore, the precision conductor "102SSC" is crafted through a number of meticulous efforts, even down to the invisible details, such as prioritizing the freshness of the conductor and minimizing shipping and manufacturing start times and implementing production management.
The use of a sufficient 1.0Φ solid wire conductor and the high-quality precision conductor "102SSC" prevents transmission loss due to conductor resistance.
The cable features double shielding: a copper foil shield with 100% shielding and a 102SSC mesh shield with 90% shielding. The cable outer diameter is 6.6mm (equivalent to 4C), while the center conductor has a diameter of 1.0mm (equivalent to 5C), achieving both the ease of handling of a 4C cable and the stable transmission capability of a 5C cable.
