In order to set a new standard of performance and improve on the remarkable Axis USB cable, this is an entirely new design, utilizing my custom manufactured SCSC-Ag wire. This mono-crystal silver wire is drawn from specially sourced bar stock by a manufacturer that I have hand selected and worked with closely to ensure the wire is drawn, tempered and insulated exactly to my specifications. In addition, an integral part of the manufacturing process, and exclusive to Locus Design/CryoParts, is our world renowned CryoFreeze? process. This new wire is my best work yet.
As developed and perfected in the Axis USB and Polestar USB below, close attention is paid to mitigating mechanical noise and triboelectric effects. The core of the Nucleus USB is a special braid of ultra pure SCSC-Ag conductors and Teflon air tubes this precise, reproducable, and expensive computer controlled braid is proprietary and only available from Locus Design. This remarkable geometry is designed to mitigate degradation and interference with/to/of the data and VDC lines of the USB signal.
For the Nucleus USB, we have have developed a new special shielding comprised of a tinned copper weave, carbon fiber and strategic use of ERS fabric. This shielding and damping is designed to isolate the data and VDC lines from any external influence, be it mechanical or electrical. This shielding technique is unique to Locus Design..
Most USB cables are shielded (if they are not, they SHOULD be), however it is very rare indeed to find a USB cable that isolates the data lines from the voltage lines. We pioneered our novel approach of isolating the +/- data lines from the +/- VDC lines with the Axis USB cable, we now take it to another level with the Nucleus.
