Ideal for media streamers Blu-ray players cable boxes and more NRG-Y2 cables use direction-controlled Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors in a Semi-Solid Concentric arrangement in which the individual copper strands are packed more tightly and never change position within the bundle. This construction significantly reduces strand interaction distortion. The greater purity and more uniform grain structure of Long-Grain Copper further reduces distortion. In addition NRG-Y2s direction-controlled silver-plated shield conductors efficiently drain RF noise to ground.
