CABLING TECHNOLOGY FOR HIGH RESOLUTION
ANALOG AUDIO INTERCONNECTIONS
Precision Pair Twisting & Balancing
The frequency and consistency of the pair twisting determines
the noise rejection of the cable. Gepco balanced pairs are
twisted to a tight and uniform lay to maximize common-mode
noise rejection.
High-purity Copper
Most cable conductors are made from corrosion-resistant
tinned copper or 99.999% oxygen-free copper. These conduc-
tor types are easy to solder and maximize conductivity.
Easy to Terminate
Each cable has time-saving features such as color-coded
jackets, optimized conductor stranding, drain wires, and easy-
to-strip compounds.
Bandwidth & Low Attenuation
The low-loss dielectric compounds and conduc-
tors minimize the loss of the cable. Compared
to other types, Gepco audio cables have less
attenuation and greater bandwidth.
Minimal Crosstalk
Individual pair jackets in multi-pair cable pro-
vide greater physical separation and electrical
isolation between pairs to improve crosstalk
between channels.
Electrical Characteristics & Specifications
Exceptional RF/EMI Noise Rejection
Capacitive balancing, tight and uniform pair-
twisting, and effective shielding all combine to
provide exceptional RF/EMI and common-mode
noise rejection.
Low-loss Dielectric Compounds
The dielectric material insulates each conductor and affects
the high-frequency loss of the cable. Gepco cables utilize
only low-loss gas/polymer, polyethylene, or high quality PVC
dielectric compounds.
100% Foil or 95% Braided Shield 
In addition to the pair twisting, noise rejection in balanced
cables is achieved with a 100% aluminum/mylar shield or a
tight-angled braid shield. Aluminum/mylar foil provides addi-
tional strength compared to standard foil shields, while a
tight-angled braid achieves greater strength, flaccidity, and
coverage.
Application-specific Jackets
Jacket compounds are specified for each cable type based
upon the application. Each compound type has a unique
combination of flexibility, abrasion resistance, flame retardan-
cy, and temperature properties.
