New Chord Company C-type USB cables for Clearway & C-USB Chord Company, December 4, 2024

Chord Company has applied 40 years of cable manufacturing expertise to the digital connection standard, USB-C, for the first time.

The USB-C option brings Chord Company performance to everyday devices used for audio playback, including smartphones (like the iPhone 16/15), tablets and laptops.

The two new USB-C cables offer a high-quality audio connection from a trusted brand with premium materials and expert craftmanship.

There are two new USB-C cables

C-USB: a budget-friendly option ideal for everyday users, newcomers and gifting.

Clearway USB: A step-up yet still affordable option, designed for enthusiasts.

The new USB-C cables expand the existing Clearway and C-line ranges which already offer a variety of USB terminations. The addition of USB-C greatly increases the range of devices that can benefit from Chord Company audio quality.

Class-leading performance and enhanced audio quality

The cables have been designed to deliver class-leading performance and enhanced audio quality for connected devices and align with the inclusion of USB-C in the latest iPhone 16 models, recent iPad Pro tablets, MacBook laptops and other Apple devices.

C-USB: the entry level option

The C-USB is Chord Company’s most affordable USB-C cable. It benefits from heavy-gauge oxygen-free silver-plated conductors for optimum signal-transfer, dual layer high-frequency shielding and gold-plated connectors that avoid tarnishing/corrosion.

Clearway USB: affordable excellence

Expanding Chord Company’s popular Clearway range, 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. The Clearway terminations also benefit from Chord Company’s non-compression strain relief system to maintain cable integrity at the plug.

The C-USB is available now from: 0.5 m C-C/A-C/C-B (£57.50 UK RRP)

The Clearway USB is available from 0.5 m C-C/A-C/C-B (£115 UK RRP)
