Straight Wire’s new USB 2.0 USB-LINK cables are available in a choice of lengths all the way up to three meters and prices that start at $50 for one meter.

Whether its anecdotal evidence from electronic industry events like CEDIA or the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest (RMAF) or hard statistics from sources like the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), there's no questioning the rising popularity of the digital audio category.

Helping to facilitate the integration of computer and audio components are new products like Straight Wire's USB-LINK USB cable that provides electronics professionals with a solution that supports connections between computers, digital-to-analog converters (DACs), music servers and other devices.

Straight Wire employs its Compressed Conductor Technology (CCT) with silver-plated conductors to help the cable to deliver high-resolution data bit-rates accurately. Through the use of the CCT silver conductors Straight Wire says the cables are able to minimize strand jumping, while maintaining the conductivity benefits of silver. Straight Wire adds the cables' data and power paths have lower resistance ratings than standard cables to support longer cabling runs without a loss in performance.
