Digital Links

USG-1

Digital USB Type Link 

The USG-1 is revolutionary in terms of USB cable design due to not really being a standard USB cable.

When designing the USG-1 we only have one objective – to make the best sounding digital link between USB devices.

The USG-1 superiority is in the cable’s construction simplicity. It is an unshielded cable using a twisted signal pair plus a third (ground) conductor. All pure (99.99%) UK silver, all braided in silk. The three conductors are covered in two layers of cotton braids and the cable is finished in white polyester braid. Terminated with solder free connectors.

•Conductors: 3x 0.40 high purity (99.99%) annealed UK silver

•Primary dielectric layer: Silk

•Secondary dielectric layer: Cotton

•Lay: Orbital twist, 80mm lay length

•Capacitance: (min) 26pF/m

•Inductance: 2.8 uH/m (inc connectors)

•Resistance: 0.2Ohm/m

•Overall jacket: White Polyester

•Overall diameter: 10.0mm

S/PDIF-1 RCA 

The  cable employs a different approach to standard SP/DIF digital cables. Instead of 75 Ohm coaxial construction, it uses a twisted pair of UK made pure (99.99%) silver conductors.

Terminated with standard RCA or a unique Gekko GAC1 connectors it provides unparallel sound.

•Conductors: 2x 0430 high purity (99.99%) annealed UK silver

•Primary dielectric layer: Silk

•Secondary dielectric layer: Cotton

•Lay: Orbital twist, 40mm lay length

•Capacitance: (min) 26pF/m (inc connectors)

•Inductance: 3.92 uH/m (inc connectors)

•Resistance: 0.2Ohm/m

•Overall jacket: White Polyester

•Overall diameter: 10.00mm

AES/EBU-1

As our SPDIF-1 digital interconnect, Gekko AES-1 uses a twisted pair plus one approach instead of a coaxial one.

AES-1 is unshielded cable having a twisted signal pair plus a third (ground) conductor. All pure (99.99%) UK silver, all braided in silk. The three conductors are covered in two layers of cotton braids and the cable is finished in white polyester braid.

•Conductors: 3x 0.4 high purity (99.99%) annealed UK silver

•Primary dielectric layer: Silk

•Lay: Orbital twist, 50mm lay length

•Capacitance: (min) 26pF/m

•Inductance: 2.01 uH

•Resistance: 0.2Ohm/m

•Overall jacket: White Polyester

•Overall diameter: 10.00mm
