Ground Tail Adapters
From Shunyata
Ground Tail Adapters connect to Shunyata's CGC/SGC base cables through the STIS v3 terminal system, with only the ground pins wired through. They come in RCA, XLR-F, XLR-M, USB-A, USB-B, S/PDIF, BNC, spade, and Ethernet versions, each a standard 4 inches long and tested for continuity, polarity, and HiPOT safety.
Specifications
| ArNi | is a type of wire created by Shunyata Research designed to be the finest quality wire available for audio purposes. It begins with the highest purity of copper available – OFE C10100 or Ohno (single crystal). Then it is formed in virtual hollow tubes eliminating skin effects and eddy current distortions. A premium fluorocarbon insulation minimizes dielectric absorption and re-radiation, greatly improving resolution and clarity. In addition, the wire undergoes our proprietary KPIP™ process. |
|---|---|
| OFE Alloy 101 | Shunyata Research uses only the highest purity of copper available for the production of its wire products. or C10100 is the highest grade of copper with a minimum 99.99% purity and a conductivity rating of 101% IACS. OFE stands for oxygen-free electrolytic and supersedes the term OFHC (oxygen-free high conductivity). C10100 is the only grade of copper that comes with a written certification of purity. Certified by ASTM F68 C10100. |
| Fluorocarbon dielectrics | Fluorocarbon dielectrics are usually only found in wire used in the aerospace industry, satellites and only the most expensive audiophile cabling. It has special electrical characteristics; very low dielectric absorption, high dielectric strength and exceptional heat resistance. When used in audio and power cables is reduces the perception of dynamic compression and it improves sonic low-level resolution and clarity. |
| Trivial Parts | Ring terminals, spades, bolts and washers that are used to connect internal wiring, terminals and switches are good examples of parts that are considered “” by some engineers. Shunyata Research actually designs and makes a wide variety of these small parts using pure copper instead of tinned brass. Such a level of attention to even the smallest details is what distinguishes every Shunyata Research product. |
