GOLD BANANA SHORT CRIMP & RED ABS CAP

Chord Company gold-plated cable termination or connector accessory for hi-fi connections.

Technical background

Chord Company accessories — banana plugs, ChordOhmic termination fluid, Silent Mounts and heat shrinks — are designed to complete the signal path with the same attention to contact quality as the cables themselves. ChordOhmic rhodium-plated banana plugs use a compression or crimp termination designed for minimum contact resistance and long-term stability. ChordOhmic Transmission Fluid is applied to connector contacts before termination to displace surface oxide layers and prevent re-oxidation, maintaining stable contact resistance over the lifetime of the connection.

Design story

Chord Company's accessory range was developed to provide installers and end-users with termination products that match the quality of the cables themselves. The ChordOhmic range — banana plugs, spade terminals, transmission fluid — uses rhodium plating and precision machined contact geometry to achieve contact resistance levels that do not limit the performance of the speaker cable. Silent Mount isolation footers use Chord Company's acoustic compound to address the mechanical resonance pathway into equipment shelving.
