Black Cat Cable Launches COPPERTONE Series

Cumming, GA USA September 28, 2018 - Black Cat Cable announces the launch of its entry-level line of handcrated cables: Coppertone

The COPPERTONE Interconnect ($199.95 @ 1.0mpr + $50 per additional 1/2mpr) is an air-dielectric coaxial design employing a helically-disposed shield around a thin-walled Teflon tube. Inside the tube is our unique Nami-processed bare copper conductor (24awg soldi core). Nami is our process that forms a sinusoidal “wave” shape into the conductor, allowing it to remain substantially suspended in air for exceedingly low capacitance and high velocity. Terminated with REAN RCA connectors. (RCA only)

The COPPERTONE Speaker Cable ($299.95 @ 2.5mpr +/- $50 per 1/2mpr) is a “tube-within-a-tube” coaxial arrangement of tin-plated copper disposed in helically-lain thin tubes separated by a multifilament nylon braided insulator. Each pole consists of 144 strands @ 36awg/each resulting in a summed conductor area of ca: 1.83mm2 (equivalent to roughly 14.5 AWG). This arrangement allows the Coppertone speaker cable to exhibit low inductance, low skin-effect, low proximity-effect, and low series-resistance. Terminated with banana plugs.

The COPPERTONE USB Cable ($149.95 @ 1.0m + $50 per additional 1/2m) is a traditional USB cable consisting of a twsited pair of data-lines, a power line, a ground line all within a multi-layered complex of shields to limit leakage and reduce noise. Terminated with USB A + USB B connectors.

All COPPERTONE cables are manufactured from raw materials and fashioned into cable-forms in our Cumming, GA workshop using our custom machinery, unique processes, and expert skills - making the entry-level prices outrageously unique for small-batch, artisanal audio products.
