With a vast array of technologies and our 40+ years in the specialist cable market, we produce cables to suit every budget to maximise the potential of your beloved system.
DIGITAL
Whether you’re connecting your TV to a sound bar or music server to a DAC, QED has a digital cable to meet your requirements. Our cables are tried and tested to ensure you get the best performance from your digital sources.
PHONO TO PHONO
When connecting your analogue sources such as your CD player or turntable to your amplifier, here at QED, we have a cable to suit your system. From our entry level Profile cable through to our flagship Signature Interconnect.
XLR
Using our unique Tri-Conductor technology and Neutrik XX-14 balanced plugs, our XLR cables offer the cleanest possible sound from a specialist XLR cable, whilst also incorporating our Ferrite insulation to eliminate timing errors.
DIGITAL COAXIAL
An alternative to optical, our premium digital coaxial cables use a specially designed cable cordage and unique plug design to achieve the precise signal characteristics required for high resolution and multi-channel audio.
USB A-B
With our high end USB A-B we isolate the power and data conductors preventing any potential cross talk, therefore meaning less jitter and an enhanced audio performance.
USB A-B MICRO
For use with Laptops/Computers and portable headphone amps/dacs, the QED reference USB A-Micro B uses our Ferrite insulation to reduce Jitter, as well as isolating the data and power lanes for a cleaner overall signal.
USB A-MINI B
Triple magnet screening and 24K gold plugs makes our Performance USB A-Mini B the best in its class.
JACK TO PHONO
Connecting your mobile device/tablet to your audio system has never been easier with our 2 step 3.5mm jack for a simpler connection.
HDMI
Using our in house HDMI testing facility, QED have designed premium HDMI cables to suit any budget. From our flexible and slimline profile to our exceptional Reference HDMI with its BandPass filter technology to reduce Jitter to Ultra low levels
OPTICAL
For all of your Optical needs, QED has an optical cable for you. For the more advanced, high bandwidth signals, Reference Optical Quartz uses glass technology to accurately send the information from source to receiver.
ETHERNET
The most common type of cable used for connecting products on a wired network. This cable connects wired devices together to the local network for file sharing and Internet access.
SUBWOOFER CABLE
Using technologies from our analogue cables such as complimentary conductor technology, your subwoofer will always perform to its best capability.
PERFORMANCE
Ethernet Graphite
Performance Ethernet Graphite
Performance Ethernet is designed specifically for the transmission of high definition digital audio
The Performance Ethernet cable is able to transmit high definition digital audio between networked Ethernet components and is ideal for HD audio streamer applications up to 24 bit/192kHz. At QED we have identified that reducing jitter or timing errors within the digital signal makes for cleaner audio transmission and with Ethernet this is no different. With CAT 6 UTP specification and 250MHz bandwidth, the Performance Ethernet is more than equipped to handle the latest high definition digital audio.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
8/8 RJ45 gold plated connectors
CAT 6 UTP specification
High bandwidth
Most ordinary patch cables are constructed to the Cat5e standard and are only specified for data rates up to 100MHz. The QED Performance Ethernet cable is an over-specified CAT6 UTP patch cable capable of data rates up to 250MHz - which gives it plenty of headroom when used in an HD Audio streamer application.
Suitable for 10GBase-T
IDEAL FOR HD AUDIO STREAMER APPLICATIONS
up to 24bit/192kHz
Asymmetric twist rates for reduced cross-talk
A polyethylene former is used to physically separate each twisted pair into its own compartment within the cable keeping the geometry extremely uniform. This further contributes to the elimination of cross-talk within the cable and maintains the tight 100 ohm characteristic impedance demanded by the Cat6 UTP standard.
This QED cable comes with a two year warranty
OVERALL PERFORMANCE
Very Low Jitter
Jitter is the undesired deviation from true periodicity of an assumed periodic signal in electronics and telecommunications, often in relation to a reference clock source. A cable displaying very low jitter has been measured at
typically 50ps.
