Cable Solutions "Signature Series 77" Coaxial Digital Audio Interconnect Cable with Canare "True 75 Ohm" Connectors

This Cable Solutions "Signature Series 77" Coaxial Digital Audio Interconnect Cable is ideal for Dolby Digital and DTS multi-channel surround sound, or any digital audio connection.

Quest for Flawless Performance

We have found that connectors are key to great cable performance. Exotic conductors and shielding are fine, but in our experience, the connectors and the cable-to-connector interface can make more difference than the cable itself.

Ironically, the most common connector used for interconnecting consumer A/V gear may also be the worst connector in general use today. Generic RCA type audio plugs and cables have been around since the 1940s, but the old solder-type plugs typically have an impedance of about 25 ohms. As a result, they exhibit extremely poor return loss performance, even when mated to high quality cable. Some of the most expensive "high end" cables still rely on connector designs that are both electrically and mechanically inferior.

With this in mind, we have chosen Canare's excellent "True 75 Ohm" RCA crimp plugs for our Signature Series cables. They are impedance matched to ensure flawless digital audio performance. They have a usable bandwidth of over 200 MHz and VSWR is typically less than 1.1:1 from DC to 200 MHz! The design ensures highly consistent, reliable connections.

Canare connectors connect up smoothly to protect your equipment investment. If you look at the picture at the right, you can see the gold-plated center shaft. If you click on the picture, you can get a better look at the gold-plated beryllium copper internal pressure fingers. The design ensures excellent contact, while solving the "grip of death" problem that can be an issue with Monster and some of the other manufacturers' connectors. (Those "grip of death" connectors put unnecessary strain on your equipment!)

We install the connectors using Canare tools that always prepare the cable ends just right. The connectors are crimped in place, using heavy, precision-machined dies. The crimps are so tight that oxygen is excluded. This exclusion prevents the corrosion that can degrade even the best soldered connections.

Our Signature Series cables feature custom-imprinted color-coded heat-shrink tubing. This full-coverage sheathing creates a more unified termination, which helps to dampen mechanical vibrations, known as "microphonics" that can occur in cables when high sound levels are present. By mechanically dampening these vibrations, we minimize the stray signals that are induced when the cables move through environmental EM fields.

From a usability perspective, our smooth cable assembly helps prevent snagging. If you do a lot of cabling work, setting up and knocking down systems, you know what I mean.

The Cable

We use oversized 7.7mm Canare precision coaxial cable. We use only select cuts of the cable, from the outer part of the spool, so curl and dielectric deformation are minimized. It is big coax, but the stranded center conductor and braided shielding ensure excellent flexibility and long life. The cable's compliant nature makes it easy to handle and route.

To ensure the flawless transmission of your digital signal, this high-performance cable features two layers of braided copper shielding. This outstanding cable joins Canare's impedance matched connectors and our fully sheathed terminations in the quest for bit-perfect digital audio. In short, you will get the best digital sound that your system can deliver.

Editor's note: The almost infamous Canare DigiFlex Gold cable assemblies use a smaller, 6.1mm, single-shielded, version of this cable. They have earned many glowing reviews...just imagine what they will say when they review this one!

USA Shipping Options

USPS Priority Mail
Air service that provides 1 to 3 day delivery to US addresses. It includes basic tracking information as well as Delivery Confirmation. Saturday delivery is included at no additional charge.

Premium air service that provides overnight delivery to most (but not all) US addresses. Better tracking and faster delivery than Priority Mail. Saturday delivery is included at no additional charge.

USPS First Class Mail
Economy service for items weighing less than 13 ounces and valued at less than $200. This service is typically a day slower than priority mail and since scanning is optional, the tracking is of limited value.

UPS Ground
Economical alternative to mail services, particularly for large/heavy items. Being a ground service, it is not fast unless you happen to be close to our shipping location, but tracking is typically superior to mail services.

UPS 3 Day Select
Guaranteed delivery within 3 business days. Tracking is typically more reliable than mail services.

UPS 2nd Day Day Air
Premium alternative to mail services that provides guaranteed delivery by the end of the second business day. Tracking is typically more reliable than mail services.

UPS Next Day Air Saver
Premium alternative to mail services that provides guaranteed delivery by the end of the next business day. Tracking is typically more reliable than mail services.

International Shipping Options

Priority Mail Express International (EMS)
Our preferred international shipping method for all international shipments because it offers the best tracking as well as the fastest and most dependable delivery.

Priority Mail International
Available for items under $300 in value. Cost is somewhat lower, although delivery is typically slower and tracking is less reliable than PMEI.

First Class Mail International
Economy service for items weighing less than 4 pounds and valued at under $200. This is the least expensive international shipping option, but the savings comes at the expense of tracking - scanning not mandatory, so this service does not provide reliable tracking information, and the post office will not trace delayed or lost packages.

Please refer to the Shipping and payments tab to see the actual services, rates, and transit times available for this item.

Keep in mind that eBay's transit time estimates are from the US Postal Service. The total transit time to your address can be affected by circumstances in your own country, such as delays at your local customs office, or cases where no one is available to receive the delivery.

International customers should be prepared to pay import taxes and/or duties at the time of delivery. In NAFTA member countries, customs duties should be discounted for products that are made in the USA, but taxes may still be collected. Please be advised that we declare actual contents, value and country of origin for customs and insurance purposes.
No exceptions please.
