Accuphase AL-100 10m OFC Series Audio Cables

Description

Engineered for precision audio performance and long-term reliability, the Accuphase AL-100 10m OFC Series Audio Cable is the ideal solution for audiophiles seeking uncompromised sound over longer cable runs. Built with Accuphase’s signature attention to detail, this cable ensures stable, high-fidelity signal transmission across its entire 10-meter length.

Gold-Plated RCA Connectors for Lasting Performance

The AL-100 features thick gold-plated RCA phono plugs, specifically designed to endure frequent insertions and removals without compromising conductivity. These plugs are highly resistant to abrasion and atmospheric corrosion including from sulfuric gases ensuring consistent performance even after extended use.

High-Purity Oxygen-Free Copper Construction

The cable’s signal path is formed using center conductor core wires composed of a hybrid of highly pure oxygen-free copper and silver-plated soft copper wires, combining low resistance with excellent signal transfer characteristics. These core wires are engineered in a dual-core design, using two different diameters of oxygen-free copper strands along with silver-plated copper for optimal conductivity.

Triple-Layer Insulation for Maximum Signal Integrity

To maintain exceptional signal clarity, the Accuphase AL-100 features a triple-layer insulation system that plays a crucial role in preserving signal integrity. This advanced configuration begins with high dielectric resistance polyethylene (PE), which minimizes energy loss and ensures stable electrical performance. It is followed by a layer of foamed polyethylene, which provides excellent insulation while reducing capacitance, further enhancing signal accuracy. Completing the structure are a durable interstitial core and paper taping, which not only add mechanical stability but also help maintain precise conductor spacing and reduce internal vibration. Together, these layers work to minimize transfer losses and DC resistance, ensuring consistent, high-definition signal transmission even in demanding or complex audio system installations.

Advanced Shielding Against External Interference

To ensure optimal signal purity, the Accuphase AL-100 cable incorporates an advanced dual-shielding system specifically designed to guard against electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference. The first layer consists of 192 ultra-fine (0.1 mm) high-purity copper wires, intricately braided at high density to create a robust shield that effectively blocks unwanted noise. Complementing this is a second layer of aluminum foil tape, which adds an extra barrier against interference and further enhances overall shielding efficiency. This dual-layer approach not only delivers low capacitance, which is critical for maintaining signal integrity over longer distances, but also provides exceptional protection even in electrically noisy environments ensuring clean, distortion-free audio transmission in high-performance sound systems.

Cross-Sectional Cable Structure

The cross-sectional structure of the Accuphase AL-100 cable reflects its precision engineering and commitment to uncompromised audio performance. At the core are the center conductors, made from a hybrid of highly pure oxygen-free copper and silver-plated soft copper wires, ensuring superior signal transmission. Surrounding these are two distinct dielectric layers a white primary insulation and a red secondary layer designed specifically for the cable’s dual-core configuration, enhancing electrical isolation and stability.

An interstitial core is integrated to maintain consistent conductor spacing and minimize vibration, further preserving signal integrity. To add structural support, paper taping wraps the internal components, improving overall durability and insulation. A high-density braided shield composed of fine copper strands provides robust protection against electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference (EMI/RFI). Encasing all these layers is a tough, flexible outer jacket, which offers long-lasting mechanical protection and makes the cable easy to handle during installation. Together, these elements form a meticulously crafted cable built for high-end audio systems.
