Professional USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Cable
4053
Hand-assembled
Every cable is assembled by hand in our workshop in Germany. Before assembly, each length of raw cable is measured on the Vector Network Analyzer, and sections that do not meet our impedance requirements are removed. The remaining cable is then carefully assembled, given its own serial number, and measured again to determine its performance grade: PREMIUM, REFERENCE or ULTIMATE.
Individually characterized
Best-in-class signal transfer by impedance controlled design, double shielding and stronger power lines.
- USB 2.0 Hi-Speed cable for highest demands
- Impedance controlled design
- Suitable for data and media applications
- Individually characterized with different performance levels
- Intona Double Shielding Technology (IDS) and stronger power lines
Signal Integrity
The key to highest Signal Integrity? Constant Impedance vs. cable length...
- Highest possible impedance continuity is a key for excellent signal integrity
- Any change in impedance causes a reflection of energy
- The reflected energy causes echo effects which disturb original signal
- The resulting effects are similar to those of Jitter - the natural enemy in any audiophile HiFi-System
- Intona's Innovation: the first commercial USB 2.0 Hi-Speed cable offering a visible and measured level of impedance continuity
Performance Grades
PREMIUM
our standard grade but much better than USB 2.0 specs
REFERENCE
for highest demands
ULTIMATE
only a small percentage of cables reach this ultimate performance level
IDS & More
Intona Double Shielding Technology (IDS)
- Maximium safety to prevent from ESD, RFI and EMI by applying 2 shielding layers
- Inner shielding using a synthetic / metallic laminate plus braid
- Additional outer shielding – braided wire made from tinned copper filaments
Stronger power lines
- reliable and stable 5V power supply wires for any external device
- much stronger power lines compared to other cables
Premium material selection
- For our professional USB cable, we have selected the finest materials available to provide durability and best performance possible
- Conductors made from Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) for best conductivity
- 24K gold plated connectors
- Zero-resistance and highly conductive material compsition for the plugs
- CNC machined connector housings made from solid all-aluminium
- Intermediate Polyurethane cable sleeve provides ultra-high stability and prevents from buckling
- Outer cover made from ultra fine tinned copper
Individual cable characterization by Intona
- We have defined our own standard for impedance continuity which is much more narrow compared to USB 2.0 specs
- Step 1: application of Vector Network Analysis (VNA) to identify non-suitable parts of the raw cable
- Step 2: cable Assembly and allocation of individual serial number
- Step 3: next VNA measurement to set performance grade
