The story

For the few components that carry analog or clock signals over 50 Ω BNC connections, Nordost builds the Odin 2 as a coaxial pair. A single 18 AWG conductor of silver-plated 99.999999% oxygen-free copper, solid core, sits in Dual Mono-Filament inside class 1.003 extruded FEP, with TSC shielding for 100% coverage and a mechanically tuned length. Nordost quotes 10.5 pF/ft and a velocity of propagation of 90%.

The construction matches the 50 Ω version of the Odin 2 Digital Cable; this listing is the matched stereo pair, terminated at both ends with gold-plated 50 Ω BNC connectors.

Pairs are built to order in lengths from 0.6 m to 3.5 m in half-metre steps, with longer runs on request. If you are unsure whether your components call for a 50 Ω connection rather than RCA or XLR, call us before ordering.

Key technologies

  • Dual Mono-Filament. Two FEP filaments wound around each conductor hold it in a virtual air dielectric inside its extruded FEP tube, cutting insulation contact by about 85%.
  • TSC shielding. Nordost's Total Signal Control: each conductor is individually shielded for 100% coverage, a virtual solid shield against EMI, RFI and crosstalk.
  • Coaxial 50 Ω geometry. A single 18 AWG silver-plated solid-core conductor in a true 50 Ω coaxial layout.
  • Mechanically tuned. Conductor lay, spacing and length are set to Nordost's formula for the geometry.
  • Gold-plated BNC. 50 Ω BNC connectors at both ends.
