ZERO-R USB A-Ex (5m)
Bring the convenience of USB up to 5 meters away—to a sound-focused system.
【ZERO-R USB A-Ex(5m)｜USB extension cable that transmits data and power separately】
If you’re particular about the sound from a USB connection, you may not always want to choose a cable simply as a basic extension. ZERO-R USB A-Ex(5m) is a USB Type A extension cable that uses two independent sets of cables—one for data and one for power—and transmits them separately.
Unlike typical USB cables that carry both power and data along the same path, it is designed with the idea of minimizing the impact on data transmission. In addition, the USB plug features a three-layer rhodium coating all the way to the inside, with attention paid to conductivity as well. This is a cable worth considering if you want to draw out as much information from the sound as possible and preserve fine details in the presentation.
With a length of 5 m, it’s also easier to route when connecting USB devices in the car, and it’s suitable for use with ZAPCO’s HDSP processor with high-resolution player. It’s ideal for those who want to enjoy even the subtle nuances of the source, or for anyone looking to rethink the area around their USB connections.
However, the sound is not determined by the cable alone. The final result will vary depending on the devices you connect, the overall system, and how the wiring is routed. At LOGON, after confirming your current car audio setup and how you use it, we provide guidance on whether there’s value in using this cable as well. It’s a part we’d like you to consider together while looking at the overall balance of your system—not something you need to replace out of necessity.
