Chord ClearwayX 1BNC to 1BNC – Hi-Fi Digital Coaxial Cable with Tuned ARAY

The Chord ClearwayX 1BNC to 1BNC is a high-performance digital coaxial cable designed to deliver a precise and stable S/PDIF signal transmission between digital sources and DACs. Developed and hand-built in the United Kingdom by Chord Company, this cable incorporates advanced technologies created to preserve signal integrity and improve the performance of hi-fi and high-end audio systems.

The proprietary Tuned ARAY conductor geometry, derived from Chord’s reference cable designs, allows for more accurate and consistent data transmission, minimizing distortion and jitter. The result is a more natural, detailed, and dynamic audio reproduction.

A silver-plated oxygen-free copper (OFC) solid-core conductor, combined with low-loss PTFE insulation and high-density shielding, ensures fast signal transfer while protecting against electromagnetic interference. The ChorAlloy™ plated BNC connectors provide excellent conductivity and long-term reliability.

Audio Performance

The Chord ClearwayX digital cable is engineered to maintain maximum digital signal integrity during transmission. Its advanced construction helps reduce internal reflections, signal loss, and external interference, delivering a more transparent, dynamic, and precise sound reproduction. The result is improved detail retrieval and a more natural soundstage.

Applications

This digital coaxial cable is ideal for connecting audio components equipped with 75 Ohm BNC digital connections:

• CD Transport → DAC
• Network Streamer → DAC
• Digital players → amplifiers with coaxial input
• DAC → digital processors or audio systems

The 75 Ohm BNC connection ensures proper impedance matching and a stable digital signal transfer compared with other coaxial connector types.
