CryoParts CFDCT-UP-OCC Copper Hook Up Wire

We have done a total redesign of our custom copper wire and hope to have it available by the end of 2008.

This will be a VERY special wire. This CFDCT-UP-OCC copper wire will set a new standard of performance.

Everyhting about this wire will be custom; the unusually high strand count, the custom formulated LL-PE dielectric, the copper used (CFDCT-UPOCC) and the cryo profile used to treat it (our proprietary CryoFreeze™ process).

Following is some preliminary information regarding the base copper we are using for this wire:

    The base metal used is an unidirectional UPOCC, being almost free from impurity (up to 99.99998% pure copper) has ideal electrical resistance properties and practically no crystal boundaries. Accordingly, it is able to transmit electrical signals faster, and with less distortion than ordinary OFC and silver wires. All of these features make the pure OCC copper the state-of-the art conductor materials for the audiophile cable industry.
