Chord Company Clearway-USB and Chord Company C-USB

English cable specialist The Chord Company Ltd. now has two new USB cables to offer: the Chord Company Clearway-USB and Chord Company C-USB models.

Story Highlights
  • As an extension of the Chord Company Clearway Series and Chord Company C-Line Series, the Chord Company Clearway-USB and Chord Company C-USB solutions are now available.

The British cable specialist The Chord Company Ltd. is convinced that USB-C is increasingly being used for solutions in the personal audio and HiFi sectors and is therefore keen to offer corresponding high-quality solutions. The company is therefore expanding its range of USB cables to include products with USB-C in two product lines.

The Chord Company Ltd. is not only presenting the Chord Company C-USB as a cost-effective entry-level product, but also the Chord Company Clearway-USB, which is also to be offered at an attractive price, but should already be seen as a clear upgrade over conventional cables.

As an extension of the Chord Company C-Line Series and Chord Company Clearway Series

The new cables in the Chord Company C-Line Series and Chord Company Clearway Series are designed to offer the proven performance of the cable solutions from The Cord Company Ltd. for portable solutions equipped with USB-C. This is the case with the latest generation of smartphones and tablets, for example, and the market already offers portable D/A converters, portable headphone amplifiers and active loudspeaker systems with integrated D/A converters, all of which have USB-C interfaces. On the other hand, many users already have fine solutions in this area, so they don’t want to change everything just because of a new smartphone.

Available in a wide variety of configurations

It is particularly important to emphasise that the new cables from The Chord Company Ltd. are available in different configurations so that they can be easily used in a wide range of application scenarios.

The British cable specialist now offers its USB cables in a wide variety of configurations, including A-C, C-B and C-C in addition to A-B, and each in different practical lengths, as the company explicitly emphasises.

Chord Company C-USB

As already mentioned, the Chord Company C-US is a particularly inexpensive entry-level solution, with features such as solid, oxygen-free, silver-plated conductors, double-layer high-frequency shielding and gold-plated plugs guaranteeing optimum signal transmission.

Chord Company Clearway-USB

The new Chord Company Clearway-USB extends the proven Chord Company Clearway Series with a cable featuring alloy jacketed connectors for improved connector shielding, high-bandwidth silver-plated oxygen-free conductors and double-layer foil shielding with high-density braiding. The cable also benefits from The Chord Company Ltd’s compression-free strain relief system, which ensures cable integrity at the connector.

Prices and availability

The new cables from The Chord Company Ltd. for devices with USB-C are now available from specialist retailers. Please refer to the table below for prices.

Getting to the point

USB-C has clearly become the predominant USB interface for mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and notebooks, as well as all the solutions designed for it in the consumer electronics sector, such as D/A converters, headphone amplifiers and active loudspeaker systems. English cable specialist The Chord Company Ltd. is now expanding its range to include cables with USB-C, both in the Chord Company C-Series and The Chord Company Clearway Series.
