Clarus Crimson USB Digital Audio Cable

High-performance USB-A to USB-B audio cable featuring 6.1% silver-plated Pure Continuous Cast Copper conductors, isolated power and signal pairs, and six-layer shielding.

The Clarus Crimson USB Digital Audio Cable is engineered for high-resolution music playback between computers, music servers, digital transports, and USB-equipped digital-to-analog converters (DACs). Its precision-twisted conductor geometry, solid-core silver-plated copper signal conductors, and extensive shielding are designed to maintain reliable digital transmission while minimizing interference.

Supporting high-speed USB 2.0 and USB Audio Class 2 applications, the Crimson USB cable provides a premium connection for reference digital audio systems.

6.1% Silver-Plated PCCC Signal Conductors

Clarus uses solid-core Pure Continuous Cast Copper (PCCC) signal conductors with 6.1% ultra-pure silver plating.

The continuous-casting process produces long, highly uniform copper crystals with fewer grain boundaries. Silver plating improves surface conductivity, while the solid-core construction maintains consistent conductor geometry.

This combination is engineered to reduce signal loss and preserve the electrical integrity of high-speed USB data transmission.

Separate Signal and Power Conductor Pairs

The Crimson USB features two independently insulated conductor pairs.

The digital signal pair uses solid-core silver-plated PCCC conductors, while a separate, larger-gauge pair carries USB power.

This arrangement helps isolate the sensitive digital data connection from electrical noise associated with USB power delivery.

Six-Layer Noise Shielding

Clarus incorporates six separate shielding layers to protect the digital signal against electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference.

The shielding architecture includes double-sided aluminum foil and Mylar insulation around the signal conductors, dedicated foil shielding around the power pair, additional shielding around the combined conductors, and an outer silver-plated copper braided shield.

This multilayer construction is designed to reduce noise entering the cable and limit interference radiating toward nearby audio components.

Precision-Twisted USB Geometry

The Crimson USB uses carefully controlled conductor twisting to maintain signal consistency throughout the cable.

Its geometry is specifically engineered for high-speed USB digital audio rather than conventional general-purpose computer connectivity.

By combining precise conductor placement with extensive shielding, Clarus addresses electrical interference and signal integrity in demanding digital playback systems.

USB Audio Class 2 Compatibility

The cable supports USB 2.0 high-speed digital audio transmission and compatible USB Audio Class 2 devices.

USB Audio Class 2 is widely used by high-resolution DACs and digital audio interfaces, allowing compatible source equipment to transfer digital audio beyond the limitations of basic USB Audio Class 1 devices.

Actual supported audio resolutions depend on the connected source, DAC, and software.

Designed for Reference Digital Audio

The Clarus Crimson USB Digital Audio Cable is suitable for connecting:

• Computers to USB DACs

• Dedicated music servers to digital-to-analog converters

• Compatible network streamers to external DACs
