From Shunyata
VENOM HC v2 carries the Venom HC design in a 1.5 m C15 cord built around 10-gauge OFE conductors, fluorocarbon dielectric material, and pure-copper contacts. Shunyata lists continuity, polarity, HiPOT, and cable-spool insulation testing for the cable, with hermetically sealed connectors to protect the contact and wire terminations.
Specifications
| 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. |

| 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 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 a lifetime of reliable performance that does not degrade over time. |
