up to a reference-grade top-of-the-line UP-OCC copper and silver cables.

Our custom cables are made from some of the best wire manufacturers on the market, such as Neotech,

Furutech, Cardas, Van Den Hul, Mogami, and more. 

Additionally, we offer our own customized UP-OCC Litz Type-6 copper and silver cables. 

Our cables are 100% handcrafted, just like a piece of expensive jewelry.

We use the best materials and equipment to build our high-end custom cables.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Arctic Cables certified and genuine UP-OCC (Ultra-Pure-Copper Ohno-Continuous-Cast) Litz type-6

conductors, enamel-coated wire. 

This custom-designed UP-OCC cable is produced for us by Neotech, one of the largest OCC wire

producers in the world. Neotech is one of the few OCC wire manufacturers that produce certified 

and genuine pure copper and pure silver OCC wires.

This cable is probably the best sounding cables in its price category. Its price to performance

ratio is exceptional. This cable can easily compete against other cables on the market

that cost three times its price.

Our cable suits those who are in pursuit after an accurate representation of sound. It improves upon

the existing without altering the sound signature. It is as transparent as it is musical. The cable is highly

engaging but never fatiguing.

The cable adds a magical layer to the listening experience, and the recording comes to life through 

the headphones. The bass becomes much tighter with a superb bass slam; the sound is less flat with

the added heft. The sound is less diffused and more robust, it does not demand your attention as all 

of the details are there without an added brightness.

The mid-range of this cable is genuinely remarkable. Male and female vocals alike sound marvelous. 

The highs are airy and contribute with their accurate portrayal of reflections to the perceived imaging.

Upon using this cable, there would be a considerable increase in the soundstage's width and depth.

This cable is also incredibly soft, flexible, and lightweight. It is very comfortable to use.

 

PRODUCT FEATURES

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

• Ultra low capacitance

• Durable, soft, low microphonics cable sleeves with excellent flexibility and comfort

• High-quality Neutrik / Furutech connectors

• Terminated with Cardas Silver-Quad-Eutectic solder wire

"Neutrik 4-Pin XLR + 1/4" Adapter" comes as a set made with the same wire type and color for an 

  additional $49.99 for the 4-wire version and $69.99 for the 8-wire version.

All of the connectors and wire spools are purchased from authorized dealers or directly from the 

manufacturer and are 100% genuine.

THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN 4-WIRE AND 8-WIRE

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The 4-wire cable type is made out of 4 conductors, and the 8-wire type is made out of 8 conductors.

Sound-wise, the 8-wire cable adds more body and resolution.

NEOTECH UP-OCC TECHNOLOGY

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The unidirectional UP-OCC has no electric resistance and practically no crystal boundaries.

Accordingly, it is able to transmit electrical signals faster, and with less distortion than ordinary 

OFC and silver wires.

All of these features make the pure OCC copper and silver the state-of-the art

conductor materials for the audiophile cable industry.

WHAT IS UP-OCC WIRE?

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

UP-OCC stands for Ultra-Pure, Ohno Continuous Casting.

The UP-OCC process for refining copper was developed and patented

by Professor Ohno of the Chiba Institute of Technology in Japan.

The license to use this manufacturing process is incredibly popular

for the production of wire and cable products for the audio/video industry.

In conventional processing, hot molten copper is poured into a cooled mold for extrusion,

resulting in multiple, fractionated crystal structure.

While the copper may be "pure" in the sense of measuring gas impurities in the copper in comparison

to standard copper refining techniques, Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) has undesirable effects that lead 

many to use more expensive materials such as silver for their conductive strands.

As developed for A/V cable use, the OCC process utilizes a heated mold for casting and extruding,

with cooling taking place in a separate process, the result is a larger crystal size and increased purity

that approaches the 6N, 99.9998%!

Looking at it another way, traditional copper has oxygen impurities of 200 to 500 parts per

million (PPM), while traditional OFC copper reduces that to less than 10 PPM.

With the OCC process, the figure is cut in half to less than 5 PPM of oxygen, and less than 0.25 PPM

of hydrogen (compared to 0.5 PPM for OFC).

With these results, the OCC process creates "ultra-pure" copper.

THE BENEFITS OF UP-OCC

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

• A true unidirectional copper crystal that is as free from impurities as possible to prevent corrosion

• Flexibility and fatigue resistance without impairing conductive characteristics

• Low electrical resistance

• Rapid signal transmission

• Corrosive-resistant

• Non-crystal boundaries

SERVICE AND WARRANTY

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Customer satisfaction is our highest priority. We will do anything to exceed our customer’s expectations.

All of our cables come with a lifetime warranty!

ESTIMATED BUILD TIME FOR NEW ORDERS

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Our custom cables are 100% handcrafted. 

We also burn-in our custom cables for a few hours, after which they are tested

for their sound using the matching headphones from our headphone inventory.

This ensures that every cable that leaves our workshop is in perfect working condition. 

All custom cables are made-to-order. Our lead time is usually 5~12 business days.

(Average build time for custom-made cables).

When a product is built to order specifically for you and is not an off-shelf, mass-produced product, it also adds a certain uniqueness to it. We are confident that you will find your new custom cable stunning in terms of sound, looks, and comfort, and that it was well worth the wait.
