Apex USB Cable Our new flagship USB cable, Apex USB incorporates the the conductor methodology as its Apex siblings, incorporating a blend of gold-plated and rhodium-plated 5N solid silver conductors. Air-PTFE teflon insulation ensures an extremely low dielectric constant, and dense carbon-loaded and copper composite shielding provide effective EM/EFI shielding. The data and power lines are physically separated, and the anodised aluminium connector ensures effective shielding right up to the point of termination. Apex USB maintains the neutral tonal balance of its siblings, whilst offering peerless levels of clarity and detail.
