From Shunyata
Theta Power Cables use 10-gauge VTX-Ag conductors with an OFE copper and silver conductor set, fluorocarbon dielectric material, and four days of KPIP v2 processing. The NR model adds Gen2 noise reduction, and both variants use sealed connector housings with solid-brass AC contacts and gold-plated pure-copper IEC contacts.
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. |
| Hermetically Sealed | Hermetically Sealed Within robust polycarbonate head-shells, the connectors are hermetically sealed with an electrically inert compound that protects the contacts and wires from corrosion. The compound also ensures that the wires cannot become loose, fray, or pull out from the head-shell. This guarantees reliable performance that does not degrade over time. |
