Cardas Copper

At the heart of a Cardas cable is Our Ultra-Pure Cardas Copper.

Mined in the Southwest USA and processed in the Northeast, we employ proprietary drawing and annealing techniques to create the highest quality, purest copper strands. A Single Poly-Nylon coating is applied to prevent oxidation and eliminate crosstalk between strands

The basic building blocks of a Cardas cable have been constant since day one: Our own, Ultra-Pure Copper, produced using our proprietary method. Multi-stranded Litz conductors, with strand size varying in Golden Ratio steps. Top quality dielectric materials and innovative air-tube dielectric suspension techniques. Premium connectors machined from copper & brass, plated with silver, and a flash of rhodium. Terminations performed by skilled craftsmen, using Cardas Quad Eutectic Solder and Cardas Rosin Flux Soldering Paste. These design elements were present in the original Cardas cables, like Quadlink & Hexlink, and former flagships such as Golden Cross & Golden Reference.

Performance

It wasn’t easy to improve upon Clear Light without giving up it’s incredible value, but we did it! Clear Cygnus is more revealing, more holographic, and more refined. Matched Propagation conductors help to provide a very open and dynamic sound. In addition it can be internally bi-wired which wasn’t an option with Clear Light.

Standard Terminations: Cardas spades or bananas forged using 10,000psi in Bandon Oregon.

Design/Construction

Conductors: Braided Matched Propagation Kevlar core, G 99.9999% pure OFHC copper with SPN clear coat (Litz), scaled to Golden Ratio proportions. Cross-field layer ge PTFE tape and Electro-Dissipative dielectric. Geometry: Concentrically braided four conductor surrou pylene fibers. Outside jacket is a soft and flexible TPE r Gauge: 4×15 AWG Outside Diameter: 0.695”/17.67mm

Warranty

All factory terminated cables come with our unmatched, transferable, Lifetime Warranty.
