Van den Hul - D-502 TAC Hybrid Phono Cable

.

The D-502 Hybrid is the twin version of the D-501 Hybrid, and is regularly used as a microphone cable in critical professional recordings, and in the tone-arm and mixing console industry.

This matte black Hulliflex ® jacketed balanced cable was designed: very flexible and with extremely good electrical qualities. The D-502 Hybrid is a cable with a very high shielding factor. Sonically  this is one of the best cables in our program. Not expensive and with very high performance quality, making it excellent suitable as phono interconnect. The D-502 Hybrid is equipped with a centre steel wire to provide extra mechanical reinforcement and strain relief. This coated steel wire, can be soldered and used as an extra ground-lead. The total pulling force handling of just this centre wire is already more than 30 kg.

Features

• The 4 signal lines are each made of 19 x 0.1 mm very high grade OFC wires with the highest density of very pure silver coating.
• As an extra layer around the metal group, we use a Linear Structured Carbon ® (LSC) saturated coating.
• The signal line insulation with white and yellow colours is made of cell-PE, so the stripping can even be done with your fingernails to prevent wire damage on the silver coated copper strands commonly caused by mechanical stripping.
• The resistance per signal lead is: 11.3 Ohm/100 meter.
• The capacitance between the signal leads is: 75 pF/meter.
• Very flexible specially treated artificial fibres are used as a filler to prevent any harm caused by external humidity or chemicals.
• The shielding consists of 96 x 0.10 mm. wires of a high-grade Matched Crystal (MC) OFC with a dense and very pure silver coating and a LSC saturated helical tape.
• The resistance of the shielding is: 2.3 Ohm/100 meter.
• The very flexible black outer jacket is made of migration-free Hulliflex ® to prevent any chemical deterioration over a long period.
• The type printing repeats every 25 cm. (10″) to make cutting of specified lengths easy.
• The external cable diameter is: 4.5 mm.
