QED XT5 maitinimo kabelis

X-Tube technology

The braided individual cores in the live and neutral conductors are made small enough to resist eddy currents from adjacent cores, and as a consequence do not contribute to the ‘proximity effect’. The carefully calculated twist-rate of the individual strands ensures no two conductors are parallel for more than a few millimetres, furthering promoting even current flow at any and all frequencies. The separate bundles are individually isolated using K130PVC (to stabilise current capacitance and to exceed international safety standards), and cable inductance is controlled by giving the entire arrangement a hollow LDPE core.

Ferrite insulation

To combat the corruption of the domestic mains supply, particularly by radio frequency noise injected into the supply by computer equipment, XT5 uses a ferrite-impregnated inner jacket, effectively wrapping the X-Tube cores in an impenetrable blanket of radio silence. Absorbing high-frequency noise signals in this way has already proved wildly successful in QED’s award-winning Audio 40 range of analogue and digital interconnects (with which XT5 is, of course, completely compatible).

Complete practicality

XT5 is designed to be as thin and flexible, and thus practical, as possible. Only the live and neutral cores have been given the X-Tube treatment described above - the earth core (required only under fault conditions) is left in a conventional geometry. And because X-Tube geometry enables the whole cross-sectional area of the cable to be kept to a tidy 1.5 mm sq, XT5 is supremely flexible and usefully slim despite its audiophile potential.

Just listen

XT5’s numerous technological highlights help it perform brilliantly,, and we’re convinced it represents amazing value for money. The easiest way for you to understand what we mean is to hear it in action for yourself - we’re confident you’ll prefer it to any alternative power cable at anything like the price.
