Shunyata Research Omega-X Clock-50 | Reference 50-Ohm BNC Clock Cable

Sale price$3,800.00

Shunyata Research Omega-X Clock-50 is the reference 50-ohm coaxial clock cable in the Omega-X family, for components that specify a 50-ohm BNC clock interface. It uses SPC conductors with a 100% braided SPC shield, PTFE dielectric, PMZ construction, 68 TAPc elements, triple-element CMode filtering and eight days of KPIP v2 processing.

Choose Clock-50 only when both the clock output and input are specified for 50 ohms. For 75-ohm clock connections, see Omega-X Clock-75. See all our Shunyata Research cables and power products.

OMEGA-X CLOCK-50



Shunyata Research Omega-X Clock-50 is the reference 50-ohm coaxial clock cable in the Omega-X family. It uses SPC conductors with a 100% braided SPC shield, PTFE dielectric, BNC connectors, PMZ construction, 68 TAPc elements, triple-element CMode filtering and eight days of KPIP v2 processing.



WHO IS OMEGA-X CLOCK-50 FOR?



Digital clock systems whose BNC clock input and output are specified for 50-ohm operation.



CLOCK-50 VS. CLOCK-75



The difference is interface impedance. Use Clock-50 for 50-ohm equipment and Omega-X Clock-75 for 75-ohm equipment.



TECHNOLOGY



Shunyata Research TAPc technologyTAPc (Transverse Axial Polarizer) is Shunyata Research's patent-pending technology that couples to the electromagnetic fields around signal conductors. It works like a polarizer, passively reducing electromagnetic distortion that presents as glare or compression. Omega-X Clock-50 uses 68 TAPc elements.
Shunyata Research CMode filterCMode is Shunyata Research's filter for common-mode noise. Shunyata designed it to reduce that noise without the compression effects of conventional filters, for an analog ease and a quieter background. Omega-X Clock-50 uses a triple-element CMode filter.
Shunyata Research PMZ constructionPMZ is Shunyata Research's ultra-precise production standard for select coaxial conductors. The braiding machines run at a quarter of normal speed, so the conductor surface, dielectric extrusion and braided shield are held to very tight tolerances.
Shunyata Research KPIP v2 processingKPIP v2™ is Shunyata Research's proprietary Kinetic Phase Inversion Process, applied to the conductor and terminal metals. Omega-X Clock-50 receives eight days of KPIP v2 processing, which Shunyata says dramatically reduces burn-in time and delivers a relaxed, life-like presentation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS



Can I substitute Clock-75?
Use the impedance specified by your equipment.


Does Clock-50 use BNC connectors?
Yes.


Is the price for one cable or a pair?
One cable. Shunyata prices its digital cables individually.
