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.

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.

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.

Triple magnet screening and 24K gold plugs makes our Performance USB A-Mini B the best in its class.

QXCAT5e UTP Cat5 Cable
QXCAT5e UTP Cat5 Cable
Cat5 enhanced data networking cable
A high quality unscreened Cat5 enhanced data networking cable with the added bonus of a LSZH fire rated jacket. Perfect for Systemline products and any multi-room and data system designed to run on Cat5e cable.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) High Performance outer jacket
Certified Cat5e performance
Industry standard conductor colour coding
LOW SMOKE ZERO HALOGEN (LSZH)
Most cables feature PVC insulation, some have a basic fire rating such as CL3, etc. Unfortunately, most cables give off hazardous toxic smoke during a fire, posing a very serious health risk.
LSZH cables are made from a special compound that performs as well as PVC insulation, but crucially gives off very little smoke and no halogen toxins in the event of a fire.
Many leading architects and builders along with commercial and marine designers are now specifying LSZH spec cables as standard.
Only LSZH cables meet the legislated fire specifications for boat installations.
The QED Pro LSZH Declaration of Conformity can be downloaded here:
We don't just use a fire rated jacket material over an ordinary cable assembly; each complete cable design including jacket and all internal conductors has to undergo rigorous fire safety testing to the following standards:
IEC 61034-1:2005
IEC 61034-2:2005
Measurement of smoke density of cables burning
under defined conditions.
IEC 60332-1:2004
Test for vertical flame propagation for a single insulated wire or cable.
IEC 60754-2:1991
(Amendment1, 1997) test on gas evolved during combustion of electric cables.
