AudioQuest Carbon USB-C to USB-C High-Definition Audio Cable

The AudioQuest Carbon USB-C to C Digital Audio Cable is engineered for high-fidelity digital audio transfer between USB-C equipped source and destination devices. Whether you are connecting modern laptops, streamers, or DACs that use USB-C ports, this cable is built to maintain signal integrity, reduce interference, and deliver clean, transparent audio performance.

Conductor Structure and Silver Plating

This cable uses semi-solid concentric conductors with 5 % silver plating to optimize high-frequency conductivity where digital edges propagate. The silver plating enhances the surface conduction quality, while the semi-solid concentric geometry helps suppress distortion caused by strand interaction common in multi-strand cables.

Noise Dissipation and Shielding Approach

To counter radio-frequency interference and electromagnetic noise, the cable incorporates a Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation system. This system acts as a layer to absorb or reflect noise before it reaches signal or ground paths. The cable is also directionally controlled, so induced noise is guided away from sensitive circuitry rather than toward it, preserving signal purity.

Insulation and Dielectric Strategy

The insulation is Hard-Cell Foam (HCF), a nitrogen-injected rigid foam with high internal air content. Using air (and nitrogen) as part of the dielectric helps reduce stored-energy distortion and preserves timing accuracy. The stiffness of HCF aids in maintaining consistent conductor geometry and stable impedance along the cable’s length.
