From Shunyata
T30 and T30-X cables carry high-current connections between wall outlets, power distributors, amplifiers, and Typhon components, built around 6-gauge VTX-Ag conductors and fluorocarbon dielectric. CopperCONN termination options are available, in either standard power-cord or short umbilical lengths. The X variant adds Shunyata's TAPc technology.
Specifications
| UMBILICAL | T30 and T30-X umbilicals are purpose-built for use between a Typhon power distributor’s 30A Amphenol output and a power distributor, amplifier or other component. Standard lengths are .5m/.75m/1m with no additional length restrictions. The shortest length required for each specific application is recommended. |
|---|---|
| POWER CORD | T30 and T30-X power cords are standard length (1.75m) and built for all other applications. Examples include: wall to power distributor (Amphenol or standard IEC), AC outlet to component IEC connections, etc. |
| T30 | High-current cable with 6-gauge VTX-Ag™ conductors. Flexible, powerful, and purpose-built. T30-X: The same robust cable, upgraded with TAPc technology for ultimate fidelity and resolution. |
| TAPc | (Transverse Axial Polarizer) is a patent-pending technology that couples to the electromagnetic fields surrounding electrical or signal conductors. TAPc behaves like a polarizer, passively reducing electromagnetic distortion that presents as a type of glare on sound or images. |
| 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. |
| KPIP v2 Processing | Shunyata Research’s proprietary Kinetic Phase Inversion Process includes four days of continuous KPIP v2™ processing which refines conductor metals at the atomic level. This dramatically reduces burn-in time and significantly improves sonic performance, delivering a relaxed and life-like presentation. When compared to the original process, KPIP v2™ represents a dramatic performance upgrade on par with a component-level upgrade. | 4-days |
| CopperCONN® | Many audiophile grade connectors are made from brass or bronze. While some may get a plating of silver, gold or rhodium, the majority of the current is carried by the contact’s base-metal. connectors contain pure copper contacts which have a much higher conductivity than brass. The difference in performance is clearly audible. |
