Quad-shielded, directionally grounded, silk-wrapped ultra high performance network cable. Fully optimised for switch to streamer installation. Available in Stealth Black and Statement White. KinuStream Elite is our all new network cable, the result of exhaustive R&D and comparative listening tests. It applies many of the lessons learned in developing our flagship JundoStream to a cable with a more compact footprint. The KinuStream performs well beyond its mid-level pricing between the JundoStream and RakuStream. With quad-shielded pure copper conductors, directionally grounded shielding and a silk anti-vibration layer, the KinuStream will ensure that your streamer fully benefits from the amazing noise reduction work of a SuperSwitch or OpticalBridge. The KinuStream will of course make its difference between any switch and any streamer. All our cables are assembled, tested and packed in our own workshops in central England. This process is as labour-intensive as you’d expect and dependent on skilled humans rather than machines; it’s a labour of love and the sonic results speak for themselves. Technical Details Easily meets Cat 8 performance requirements and handling data rates well beyond the demands of a hifi system. Conductors: eight stranded 26 AWG pure copper conductors in polymer insulation are arranged in four tightly twisted pairs, each pair foil-wrapped to provide 100% shield coverage which eliminates crosstalk. Quad-shielding for an exceptionally low noise floor: the foil-shielded pairs are surrounded by a first copper braid, a second overall aluminium shield and a polymer jacket. A second dense (95%+ coverage) outer copper braid is overlaid to provide a fourth layer of shielding. A silk braid protects against micro-vibrations and finally we add a protective PET braid before terminating the cable with heatshrink and high quality Telegartner RJ45 plugs. Like its siblings, the KinuStream has its shield grounded at only the switch end, offering full protection from radiated RFI while not acting as an RFI conductor. Colours and Dimensions The KinuStream is available in Statement White and Stealth Black and in 0.75m, 1m, 1.5m and 2m lengths. Cables longer than 2m can be made to order; please contact us to confirm costs and timescales. We assemble by hand and maintain sufficient stock of most models for immediate despatch; if we do not have stock of your chosen model(s) we will let you know within 24 hours. Non-stock KinuStream orders should be shipped within 1-2 weeks.
