BJC Silver-Plated Digital Audio Cable, 3 Foot
BJC Silver-Plated Digital Audio Cable, 3 foot Many of our customers ask about silver or silver-plated conductors as an alternative to copper. While we’re partial to copper for various reasons, there are those who prefer silver, and this cable is for them: it has a silver-plated copper center conductor, with our usual high-quality Canare RCA plugs. Like most of what we sell, these cables are assembled in the USA at our Seattle shop.The Cable: Belden 734D1This digital audio cable is assembled using Belden's 734D1 cable stock, originally designed for a rather different digital audio application: multiplexed digital telephone systems. Its adherence to Bell's spec for DS3/DS4 telephone systems also makes it ideal for S/PDIF digital audio -- ample bandwidth, and a consistent 75 ohm characteristic impedance. It offers low capacitance (16.8 pF/ft) and excellent braid-over-foil shielding, and has a 20 AWG silver-plated copper center conductor.The Connectors: Canare RCAPs We use Canare crimp-style RCA plugs on this cable; these have gold-plated contacts on both the pin and the ground side, and employ a unique circular spring ground contact to allow a very firm and definite engagement with the jack, but one which disengages easily and without any risk of jack damage from over-tightness.Blue Jeans Cable: Professional Cable AssemblyWe assemble these cables in our Seattle shop, using precision stripping and crimping equipment for high-quality termination. Blue Jeans Cable has been assembling audio and video cable for the stereo and home theater market since 2002, always using the best broadcast-quality parts and assembly practices.
