General:Here's something you don't see very often - a super high-quality USB cable from DH-Labs. It's also a generous length at 2 meters. Featuring USB Type-A at one end, and USB Type-B at the other end as shown in our photos. Please make sure this will work with your specific setup and contact us if any questions. Perfect for your DAC / computer setup. From a pet and smoke free home. From DH Labs:Our Maximum Bandwidth USB cable continues our tradition of offering state-of-the-art digital audio cables at affordable prices. As with our other digital cables, Maximum Bandwidth USB combines top quality materials with precision manufacturing and solid engineering. We start with silver-coated OFHC copper conductors, and we insulate them in a low-density gas-injected dielectric. The combination of these two materials provides a more uniform attenuation vs frequency curve, which helps to preserve waveform shapes at the Megahertz frequencies where digital cables operate. At these frequencies, it is very important to maintain the very tight control over the insulation thickness, and we also cable (twist) the conductors on a machine that runs slowly and with uniform (constant) tension. These techniques combine to maintain a highly uniform characteristic impedance, which minimize signal reflections (and thus cable induced jitter). At Megahertz (and Gigahertz) frequencies, cables behave as wave guides. Dimensional discontinuities – such as inconsistencies in insulation thickness or non-uniform spacing between the conductors – are a major reason for poor digital cable performance. Finally, we use 100% shield coverage (the shield is also wrapped at constant tension, to avoid “VSWR spikes”) and top quality connectors.SkyFi Cosmetic Notes:Very minimal wear present looks almost new.Ownership:Second OwnerConnections:USB A, USB BCosmetic Condition:8/10 = Very Good.

We do however perform a visual inspection of all of the connectors for damage or significant wear.Most power and interconnect cables can be verified with a simple continuity test with a digital multimeter. Some cables feature dielectric bias systems which are powered by external power supplies or batteries. These devices are checked for proper function where applicable.We do not perform A/B comparisons of cables in real world conditions, and cannot offer objective observations in this regard.
