Chord Company USB-C Cables Introduced
Chord Company announces a line of USB-C cables for phones, tablets, laptops and more.
Chord Company now offers USB-C cables for the first time, bringing the brand's renowned performance to everyday devices used for audio playback, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
The two new USB-C cables offer a high-quality audio connection from a trusted brand and boast "premium materials and expert craftsmanship."
The C-USB (above) is touted as a "budget-friendly option ideal for everyday users, newcomers and gifting." Meanwhile, the Clearway USB (below) is positioned as a step-up yet affordable option "designed for enthusiasts."
The C-USB benefits from heavy-gauge oxygen-free silver-plated conductors for optimum signal transfer, dual-layer high-frequency shielding to minimise unwanted interference, and gold-plated connectors that avoid tarnishing/corrosion.
The new Clearway USB adds alloy-sleeved connectors for improved plug-shielding, high-bandwidth silver-plated oxygen-free conductors, plus double-layer foil shielding with high-density braid for enhanced protection from RF interference. The Clearway terminations also benefit from Chord Company's non-compression strain relief system to maintain cable integrity at the plug.
The new USB-C cables expand the existing Clearway and C-line ranges, which already offer a variety of USB terminations. Adding USB-C dramatically increases the range of devices benefiting from Chord Company audio quality.
The C-USB is priced at £57.50 for 0.5 m, and the Clearway USB costs £115 for 0.5 m. Both are available in C-C/A-C/C-B termination options and lengths up to 3 metres.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
