AudioQuest - Carbon USB-C > B 2.75' Digital High-Definition Audio Cable with USB-C to USB-B Connectors - Gray on Black

For many applications the speed of digital communication is important. Most visibly “speed” is about transferring large files as quickly as possible or carrying enough data for an HD video. For USB audio (and for HDMI audio) “speed” is critical not because of how-much how-fast but because time relationships within a digital stream are critical to the reconstruction of the analog waveform that brings information music and joy to our ears. Time-based damage (jitter) to this information within the data package makes the sound small and flat instead of 3D harsh and foggy instead of smooth and clear. AudioQuest USB Type-C cables featuring conductor materials and construction techniques that have allowed AQ’s other USB cables to achieve “Best-In-Class” recognition worldwide.With the newer USB Type-C connector quickly becoming commonplace on many devices AQ’s line of Type-C equipped USB cables will allow users to connect with Type-C enabled devices such as MacBook ChromeBook Pixel Galaxy Note 7 etc. In addition ALL of AudioQuest’s USB cables incorporate a newly developed strain-relief system to provide robust durability between the USB cable and plug.Solid 0.5% Silver ConductorsSolid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications like HDMI audio and video. These signals being such a high frequency travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor. As the surface is made of high-purity silver the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable but priced much closer to solid copper cable. This is an incredibly cost effective way of manufacturing very high-quality HDMI cables.DirectionalityAll drawn metal strands or conductors have a non-symmetrical and therefore directional grain structure.

For high-performance digital audio, speed is about timing accuracy, not raw bandwidth. Precise time relationships preserve the analog waveform, while jitter robs sound of depth, clarity, and realism. This Type-C audio cable is engineered with advanced conductor materials and geometry to minimize time-based distortion, delivering a more open, three-dimensional presentation. Solid 1.25% silver-plated conductors reduce strand interaction and support cleaner high-frequency signal transfer, achieving near–solid silver performance with excellent value. Hard-cell foam insulation maintains stable impedance, limits energy absorption, and preserves signal integrity along the entire length. Directionally controlled conductors drain noise away from sensitive circuits, while a reinforced strain-relief system ensures lasting durability and dependable everyday use. Ideal for modern devices using the compact Type-C connector, it supports high-resolution audio playback and reliable data transfer in professional or home systems.

The USB31CB1M is a 1-meter USB-C to USB-B cable designed for high-speed data transfer between USB-C devices and USB-B peripherals. It supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps, facilitating rapid file transfers. The cable features a reversible USB-C connector for easy insertion and is constructed with a durable PVC jacket and aluminum mylar foil shielding to ensure longevity and signal integrity. Additionally, it is compatible with Thunderbolt 3 ports, offering versatile connectivity options.
