AudioQuest CARBONCOAX1M 3.3 Feet Carbon Digital Coax Cable
AudioQuest Digital Coax cables are designed to minimize distortion across an extremely wide bandwidth. For many applications, the speed of digital communication is important. Most visibly, "speed" is about transferring large files as quickly as possible, or carrying enough data for HD video. For Digital Coax audio "speed" is critical not because of how-much how-fast, but because time relationships within a digital stream are critical to the reconstruction of the analog waveform that brings information, music and joy to our ears. Time-based damage (jitter) to this information within the data package makes the sound small and flat instead of 3D, harsh and foggy instead of smooth and clear.
Features
- Solid 5% Silver Conductors
Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications. 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 digital coax cables - Hard-Cell Foam Insulation
Hard-Cell Foam insulation is used exclusively in most of AudioQuest's video and digital audio cables. Similar to Foamed-PE, it is nitrogen injected to create air pockets. 'Hard' foam is used because the stiffness of the material allows the conductors in the cable to maintain the same relationship with each other along the full length of the cable, thus ensuring that the characteristic impedance of the cable is consistent - 100% Shield Coverage (Foil + Silver-Plated Braid)
Shielding always plays an important role in any cable design, but the shield on coax interconnect plays an especially important role because it functions not only as a shield but a return path as well. Because of this, AudioQuest pays special attention to the shield's metal quality and the fabrication techniques as both will affect the sound and the picture - Carbon-Based 5-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS)
100% shield coverage is easy. Preventing captured RF Interference from modulating the equipment's ground reference requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation System. Metal and Carbon-Loaded synthetics prevent most RFI from reaching the equipment's ground plane - Terminations

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The conductor is made of solid 5% silver-plated copper, which reduces distortion and jitter. The solid conductor design eliminates strand-interaction distortion, while the high-purity silver plating enhances signal transmission, especially for high-frequency digital audio.
-
The cable uses hard-cell foam insulation, which is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets and maintain stiffness. This helps keep the conductors' relative positions consistent over the cable length, ensuring stable characteristic impedance, which minimizes signal loss and distortion.
-
It features 100% shield coverage combining foil and silver-plated braid. This extensive shielding blocks electromagnetic interference and provides a stable return path for the signal, thus preserving audio integrity and preventing noise intrusion.
-
The cable incorporates a carbon-based 5-layer noise-dissipation system consisting of metal and carbon-loaded synthetics. This system prevents captured radio frequency interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment’s ground reference, reducing noise and improving overall sound clarity.
-
Both ends use digital coaxial connectors with cold-welded, hanging silver plating directly over pure purple copper. This high-quality termination enhances electrical contact, reducing signal loss and improving transmission fidelity.
