            | Supra USB Excalibur Silver Edition - Our best 
                USB digital audio cable
                
                Now available !
                 
                We have for a couple of years been developing an ultimate USB 
                Cable, the result was USB Excalibur. 
                
                   
                Supra USB Excalibur is supplied in a cardboard carton, just 17.5 
                (w) x 16.5 (d) x 4 (h) cm..
                 
                Our goal was simple: to make the world's best USB cable, with 
                no compromises or shortcuts. Excalibur is a premium high speed 
                cable with improved data and power transmission, a complement 
                to the existing USB series.
                
                   
                Supra USB Excalibur is supplied in a black presentation bag, but 
                you can use it to help protect the cable, if used in portable/remote 
                situations.
                 
                Both the data pair and the power pair are optimised for their 
                purpose, as the demands to transmit data and power are different. 
               The twisted data pair is made of PE insulated Silver-plated Oxygen 
                Free Copper wires. The Silver layer is very thick, 3.8% of the 
                total wire, for best conductivity and high velocity factor. Silver 
                is great for high frequencies and high speed data transmission.
 
  
 USB Excalibur, is optimised to handle 24-bit HD Audio and it's 
                90 Ohm characteristic impedance results in low attenuation.
 The construction of the power conductors are totally different 
                compared to the data pair. To avoid power losses and to maximize 
                the conductor area we used 4 Tin-plated OFC wires in a star quad 
                configuration. Star quad design and the seperate screen reduces 
                any RFI greatly . You probably recognise the design of the plugs - the USB plugs 
                are siblings to our popular HDMI plug. Fully shielded in Aluminium.
 The plugs are detachable to make it possible to route the cable 
                within in 16 millimeter conduits including the contact. No more 
                on-site cut-offs and re-soldering, jeopardising the typical Supra 
                top notch performance.
 
  USB cable (factory terminated)
 
 Standard Features:
 
 High Performance, High Speed - Uses a flexible cable with dual screens 
              for the best RF pick-up protection.
 
 One twisted pair for data (24-bit) and two star-quad pairs for power, 
              with individual screens for minimal cross-channel interference.
 
 Low capacitance and efficient noise rejection maintain signal integrity 
              in long run interconnects.
 
 PE-insulated wires with correct 90 Ohms impedance design.
 
 24K gold plated and shielded connectors.
 
 
     
 The connectors use aluminium housings to withstand tough applications 
              and long term use.
 
 Maximum Data Transfer Rate: 480 Mbits/second (as per USB 2.0 specifications).
 
 Please note:
 While USB 2.0 and 3.0 are physically and electrically compatible, 
              USB 3.0 is a dual-link system that is not currently used for USB 
              Audio.
 
 
 Connectors used to terminate USB Excalibur cables are:
 1) Standard Type A to Standard Type B - for use with most mains-powered 
              DACs - available in the following lengths:
 1m, 2m, 3m, 4m, 5m
 
 Other lengths and connector types may be introduced in the future.
