There are many problems with off-the-shelf USB cables including poor quality conductors and dielectrics and insufficient shielding. Conventional cables induce high amounts of signal jitter and phase noise degrading sonic performance.

The Delta USB cabling is an exclusive Shunyata Research product that was designed to achieve reference level performance but at a very reasonable price point. ArNi® silver conductors and fluorocarbon dielectrics and PMZ construction achieves low levels of jitter and phase noise measurements. Silver-plated copper braided shields protect the delicate signals from external RFI/EMI.

TECHNOLOGY

Shunyata Research digital cables are produced using a ‌Precision Matched Z (‌‌PMZ) concept. This means that tolerances of the conductor surface, dielectric extrusion, and the precision of the braided shield are held to minute variances. To achieve these tight tolerances, the extrusion and braiding machines must be run at one-quarter speed during the manufacturing process. The result is better performance through a reduction of cable-induced ‘signal jitter’. (Note: Z means impedance)
