“Hear the difference with the highest quality performance cables”

Welcome to our shop.

Van Damme Pro Grade Classic XKE 1 Pair Cable is a foil screened twisted pair for installation and rack wiring. Tough, flexible and very easy to prepare as the foil screen is bonded to the outer jacket, this cable type is also useful for ‘bodge leads’, adaptor cables and multipin breakouts where individual tails need to be colour identified or are to be permanently installed.

Material

The cable conductor is made of a mixture of ultra-pure oxygen-free copper, silver-plated and ultra-pure oxygen-free copper. As with other Van Damme cables, ultra-pure oxygen-free copper increases conductivity and ease of soldering. An additional advantage of UPSPOFC (Ultra Pure Oxygen-Free Copper, Silver Coated) is approximately 5% lower resistance than copper. High frequencies, which flow outside the conductor, due to the skin effect, are conducted slightly better than low frequencies, which tend to fill the UPOFC conductor. Additionally, silver has a lower ability to corrode than copper, so the coating provides a protective barrier between the conductor and insulation from free air. Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) was used to insulate the conductors. The advantage of this solution is a clear advantage compared to other insulating materials such as conventional polyethylene. XLPE has a dielectric constant of 2.2 at 1kHz, significant minimization of signal loss at high frequencies, and stability at high temperatures. This stability makes the insulation material resistant to shrinkage during the soldering process. It also has good resistance to abrasion and breaking, which decreases only at -40 degrees Celsius. The pair conductors are twisted together and shielded with aluminum and polyester tape. The whole thing is covered with a PVC/neoprene composite. This material provides adequate flexibility, even at temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius. The cable is available in ten colors.

Application

•Internal cabling of rack systems and patch panels.

•Installations that do not require LSZH protective materials.

•Adapter cables and multi-point breakouts.

Installation Notes

•Foil screen connected to the outer jacket to facilitate the preparation process.

•Available in 10 colors makes it easier to recognize connections or lengths.

•24AWG tinned drain wire in close contact with aluminum/polyester FEF shield.

•Combination of silver-plated and smooth copper conductors, ultra-pure, oxygen-free for unrivaled sound quality.
