AudioQuest - ITA 3/3 - Instant Tool-less Bulk Audio Cable (Spool)

AudioQuest's ITA-3/3 is a bulk 24AWG cable designed for: Video, RF, Digital, or Subwoofer applications. An economical mid-range choice for long, in-wall runs; this Riser-rated cable is available in 50' to 1000' spools for ease of installation. The ITA-3/3 is designed to be terminated in: RCA, Coaxial, or BNC.

Hard-Cell Foam (HCF) Insulation ensures critical signal-pair geometry. Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Hard-Cell Foam Insulation is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets, because nitrogen does not absorb energy and therefore does not release any energy from or into the conductor, distortion is reduced. In addition, the stiffness of the material allows the cable's conductors to maintain a stable relationship along the cable's full length, producing a stable impedance character and further minimizing distortion.

Since the beginning, AudioQuest has pioneered the use of superior metals, yet even we were surprised by the huge leap in performance attained through the astonishingly smooth and pure surface of Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC). Proprietary metal-processing technology protects the wire's surface at every stage of drawing and fabrication. When high-purity low-oxide copper is kept as soft, pure, and smooth as possible, it becomes a wonderfully low-distortion conductor. In a conventional cable, electrical and magnetic interaction between strands is one of the greatest sources of distortion, often causing a somewhat harsh, dirty sound. Solid conductors are fundamental toward achieving a very clean, natural sound.

It's easy to accomplish 100% shield coverage. Preventing captured radio-frequency interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment's ground reference requires AudioQuest's Noise-Dissipation. Traditional shield systems typically absorb and then drain noise/RF energy to component ground, modulating and distorting the critical Reference ground plane, which in turn causes a distortion of the signal. Noise-Dissipation shields the shield, absorbing and reflecting most of this noise/RF energy before it reaches the layer attached to ground.
