Kimber Kable PowerKordsTM manufacture of KIMBER KABLE analog interconnects, Teflon Dielectric

A number of innovative technologies and materials are used in the

manufacture of KIMBER KABLE analog interconnects:

Special Formula PE Dielectric

A special recipe polyethylene dielectric that has carefully selected electrical and mechanical properties for a smooth, sweet and very natural sound.

Teflon® Dielectric

A high pressure, low temperature extruded Teflon® engineered for maximum signal transfer. The low temperature extrusion process prevents conductor surface damage. The sound quality is accurate, detailed and has incredible

dynamic contrasts.

VariStrand™ Ultra-pure and Hyper-pure Copper and Hyper-pure Silver Conductors VariStrand™ technology controls internal and external vibration by minimizing resonance within the cable stranding. This is accomplished by using variable sized strands in a specific ratio within each conductor.

Tri-braid Geometry

KIMBER KABLE’s distinguishing three-wire braid was created to reject the deleterious effects of radio emissions (RF/EMI) and to preserve signal fidelity. Radio emissions interact with the infor- mation traveling down the cable, becoming part of the signal. They are eventually perceived as system noise or often a sense that playback has been altered or is lacking in clarity or purity. Our three-wire braid rejects the RF/EMI noise without the use of a signal damaging shield.

GyroQuadratic Geometry

The unique four-wire GyroQuadratic braided geometry is our most sophisticated geometry both in terms of radio emissions rejection and preservation of signal integrity. GyroQuadratic field geometry improves sound quality by maintaining signal strength and linearity.

Ultratike™ and Ultraplate™ Blk

RCA Type Connectors

At the heart of these connectors is the Ultraplate™ contact surface. The Ultraplate™ surface provides high conductivity and great durability and is compatible with all other plating surfaces. The Ultraplate™ connector, which is precision machined, also features a solid Teflon® dielectric and a split center pin for enhanced sonic performance.

WBT® Midline RCA Type Connectors

The WBT-0147 and WBT-0144 RCA type connec- tors feature a patented locking mechanism, multi- layer plating process, with a final plating of 24 karat gold,Teflon® insulation, and a slotted cen- ter pin for a snug internal connection.

Patent #5,226,841

WBT® Topline RCA Type Connectors The finest connectors available. Topline connectors incorporate a higher copper content and ultra-fine machining. The WBT-0108 features a solder free crimp technique termination which utilizes T-6 Torx™ screws for a secure connection. The Topline RCA features a unique multi-layer duplex plating process, with a final plating of 24 karat gold. The barrel is finished in polished ruthenium.

Patent #5,226,841

WBT® nextgen™ RCA Type Connectors

The WBT-0110 Cu and WBT-0110 Ag are true 75 ohm connectors and utilize many innovative per- formance features such as : ultimate conductivity, ultra rapid signal transfer, elimination of eddy current, and pure conducting materials. The WBT® patented locking sleeve is finished in cobalt blue.
