The QED 79 Strand is a long-established speaker cable designed to provide reliable, low-resistance signal transfer for a wide range of hi-fi and home cinema systems. It is supplied unterminated, allowing users to cut to length and terminate to suit their preferred connectors or installation requirements.
Using high-purity oxygen-free copper conductors arranged in a 79-strand configuration, the cable is engineered to maintain consistent electrical performance while remaining flexible and easy to work with. This makes it suitable for both permanent installations and general hi-fi use.
QED’s long experience in cable design is reflected in the balance between conductor size, strand count and insulation, helping ensure dependable performance without unnecessary complexity.
