It is always a challenge to design a product where the quality and the price are very opposite in the positive sense.
This is the case with our The SOURCE HYBRID coaxial interconnect; a cable with all the advanced technology on board to make the product very successful. The jacket is made of our HULLIFLEX ® 3 with the type printing on each 25 cm. (10") to make cutting of specific lengths easy.
The external diameter is 7.0 mm. The shielding is made of 216 dense and very pure silver coated Matched Crystal (MC) OFC copper strands with underneath a Linear Structured Carbon ® (LSC) saturated foil; this to further close The SOURCE HYBRID against spurious HF-signals and to dramatically improve the signal quality.
The core insulation is made of foamed PE to obtain a very low dielectric constant. This directly results into a low capacitive load. For The SOURCE HYBRID this is 86 pF/meter; a low value! The technical knowledge to produce the centre-conductor is directly obtained from our know-how collected during the production of The REVELATION HYBRID and The SECOND ®:
The centre conductor consists of 40 x 0.12 mm. very pure silver coated Matched Crystal (MC) OFC copper strands with an extra LSC coating; this again to further improve the signal quality. The resistance of the centre conductor is 3.8 Ohm/100 meter. And the shielding has a value of just 0.71 Ohm/100 meter ! This low value reduces any noise signal buildup in complex grounding situations.
