The “Continantal 5S”, the Hi-End USB cable, is finally released from Oyaide brand in 2011. With confidence, the core connection of computer audio systems will be given new dimensions by Continental 5S USB cable. “5S” stands for “Signal transmission”, “Silver solid conductor”, “Specialty in plating”, “Shielding”, and “Silk filler”. The production of Continental 5S has been accomplished by gathering Oyaide engineering that means all parts and processes are sure to be made in JAPAN.

USB2.0 (HI-SPEED, 480Mbbs) compliant. The impedance matching are regarded as most important factor for digital signal transmission and set by highly technical operation.

The 5N pure silver conductor finished by skin-pass makes data transmission stable and lossless.

The plating on the contact parts is composed of Oyaide original double layered direct plating. The 1st layer is pure silver which has high conductivity and the 2nd layer is rigid rhodium plating.

Its shielding makes impregnable defense. The copper foil shield which has 100% covered rates separates its signal conductors and power conductors perfectly. Additionally, the aluminum foil shielding and silver plated copper braided shielding are installed to attenuate jitter loss maximally.

The 100% pure silk filament which doesn’t take electrostatic charge due to its low capacitance is included into the cable for solving the problem of corona discharge caused by electrically-charged materials.

AWG 22 PCOCC-A stranded wire was selected by considering cable flexibility and stability.

Because at the connection part between cable and connector, magnetic field is easy to be rumbled which cause noise contamination, its cable and plugs are covered by metal shell and molded by resin after being soldered. In addition, machined brass outer cover is equipped on the plug to protect its connection part from external noise.
