Following on from the success of their original GT2 USB cable, Japanese cable manufacturers Furutech now introduce their higher specified GT2 Pro.

Featuring 24k gold-plated non-magnetic USB 2.0 connectors and Furutech’s new  Alpha* OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) silver-copper alloy conductor, the GT2 Pro has been designed with the audiophile in mind.

Furutech’s GT2 Pro USB cable is formed around special Alpha* OCC silver copper alloy conductors with high-density polyethylene insulation/dielectric. It features three-layer shielding and specially engineered 24k gold-plated USB 2.0 connectors with a 24k gold-plated copper alloy EMI shield incorporated into the connector. “The cable wrap includes excellent damping and insulating materials, selected to deliver improved frequency extension and tonal balance. A carefully engineered clamp improves grip and keeps both mechanical and electrical distortion at bay” says the Furutech press release.

1.2m is £180 but other lengths are available.
