AudioQuest Cinnamon 1.5 m Lightning - USB A Cable for Apple

Product Overview

Solid 1.25% Silver Conductors

Solid conductors eliminate strand–interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid core silver–plated conductors are ideal for high–frequency usage, such as USB audio. 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. Cinnamon is an incredibly cost effective solution for a very high–quality 4.92 feet USB cables.

Hard–Cell Foam Insulation

AudioQuest solely uses Hard–Cell Foam insulation in their Cinnamon 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 2.5 feet length of the cable, thus ensuring that the characteristic impedance of the cable is consistent.

Metal–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. Noise–Dissipation System prevents a significant amount of RFI from reaching the equipment's ground plane.
