TributariesÆ Debuts ""True"" 75 Ohm Silver Component Video Cable Set
TributariesÆ, a leading manufacturer of high-end audio/video interconnects, speaker wire and video accessories, introduces its Silver Component Video Cable Set. The three-cable set, the company says, assures the best picture possible from the latest DVD-Video players equipped with component-video output. The new TributariesÆ Silver Series Component Video cables are ""true"" 75 ohm cables in that both the cable and the specially engineered solder-on connectors are 75 ohms. Tributaries claims that many manufacturers of 75 ohms cables use connectors that are typically 50 ohms. This mismatched impedance will produce signal loss in high-resolution component video transfer resulting in phase error limiting color accuracy. Each cable features a 32-strand silver-plated OFHC (Oxygen Free High Conductivity) copper center conductor protected by triple-layered shielding. A PVC (polyvinylchloride) jacket is said to enhance flexibility and provide protection from abrasion damage and deterioration. ""Slip-Over"" insulating layers in the cables assure flexibility and a constant 75 ohm impedance under all conditions. An aluminum/MylarÆ wrap prevents, according to Tributaries, 100 percent of high frequency interference from penetrating the cables, and two concentric OFHC copper shields eliminate low frequency interference. Tributaries Maximum Contact Connectors, gold-plated machined brass color-coded (Y, R-Y, B-Y) 75 ohm RCA-type plugs, terminate the cables. Tributaries proprietary ""360? Surround Soldering System"" with high silver content solder, provides a far stronger connection between the cable shield and connector, assuring maximum protection from mechanical cable failure and noise pickup. The suggested retail price of the Tributaries Silver Component Video Cable one meter set is $200, two meter set is $250, and three meter set is $300. Tributaries headquarters and manufacturing facilities are located at 1307 East Landstreet Road, Orlando, Flordia 32824-7926.
