Description
AudioQuest Cinnamon USB-A > B
High-Definition Audio Cable. Cinnamon USB-A > B is engineered to deliver elevated digital performance through the use of high-purity 1.25% silver-plated conductors and advanced noise-dissipation technology. Designed for transporting digital audio, internet, and computer data, Cinnamon USB offers lower jitter, reduced distortion, and improved signal integrity.
Solid 1.25% Silver Conductors
Cinnamon USB features solid 1.25% silver-plated Long-Grain Copper conductors. Because high-frequency digital signals travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor, increasing the thickness of the silver layer significantly improves performance. Solid conductors also minimise electrical and magnetic strand-to-strand interaction, helping reduce jitter and distortion for cleaner digital transmission.
Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation
Traditional shielding systems can drain captured radio-frequency interference directly to component ground, potentially modulating and distorting the system’s reference plane. AudioQuest’s Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation technology “shields the shield,” absorbing and reflecting most RF energy before it reaches the ground-connected layer, preserving signal purity.
Hard-Cell Foam Insulation
Hard-Cell Foam (HCF) insulation maintains precise signal-pair geometry while minimising energy absorption. Nitrogen-injected air pockets reduce stored and released energy that can cause distortion. The material’s rigidity also ensures stable impedance across the full cable length, further enhancing digital accuracy.
Direction-Controlled Conductors
All drawn metal conductors have directional grain structure. AudioQuest controls RF impedance variation so noise is drained away from sensitive circuitry. Clearly marked arrows on the connectors indicate optimal installation direction to ensure maximum performance and effective noise dissipation.
