AudioQuest USBCARBONA2MICRO3M Carbon 9.8 Feet USB 3.0 A To Micro Digital Interconnect
A High-Performance USB 3.0 AudioQuest Cable
Bring reliable, high-speed connectivity to your digital setup with the AudioQuest Carbon USB 3.0 A to Micro Digital Interconnect. Designed for SuperSpeed USB 3.0 performance, this cable supports data-transfer rates up to 4.8Gbps, making it a strong choice for fast and efficient connections between compatible devices. With a 3 meter length, it offers generous reach for home audio systems, digital components and other USB-connected gear.
Built with Premium Conductors and Insulation
The AudioQuest Carbon USB cable is engineered with solid 5 percent silver conductors to help reduce strand-interaction distortion and improve signal quality. Hard-cell foam insulation helps maintain consistent cable geometry, while the carbon-based 3-layer Noise-Dissipation System works to minimize RF interference that can affect performance. Together, these design elements support a cleaner, more stable digital signal.
Precision Terminations for Cleaner Connections
For added performance, this AudioQuest digital interconnect features direct-silver plated pins and carefully designed terminations for a low-distortion connection. The black and blue finish gives it a distinctive look that pairs well with a premium audio setup. If you're searching for a USB A to Micro USB cable that combines thoughtful construction with dependable digital transfer, the AudioQuest Carbon is an excellent upgrade.
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, like HDMI audio and video. 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 - 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 - Carbon-Based 3-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
Precision direct-silver plated pins are carefully attached with the very best solder. Through choice of flux and metallurgy, AQ solder has been optimized to make a low-distortion connection. The difference you hear between solders is a result of connection quality. AQ Solder does not have a high silver content because the more silver there is in solder, the more difficult it is to make a good connection - SuperSpeed USB 3.0
