Cardas Iridium Interconnect

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

Combining a star quad arrangement with our proven golden ratio copper conductors, Iridium achieves the perfect balance of detail and warmth. Natural treble is blended with a smooth midrange and quick bass response for a very musical interconnect

Design/Construction

Conductors: Grade 1, 99.9999% pure OFHC copper with SPN clear coat (Litz), gauge sizes scaled to Golden Ratio proportions. Crossfield layer geometry, insulated in a FEP jacket. Geometry: Shielded Star-Quad 4 conductor bound together in PTFE tape. Hybrid shield combines a spiral of tin-plated copper and a carbon impregnated PTFE tape. Finished in an ultra-soft and flexible extruded TPR jacket.
Gauge: 4×24.5 AWG, Outside Diameter: 0.300”/ 7.62mm
