Overview
Pure OFC copper 4-core IEM replacement cable in standard PVC jacket. Not an upgrade cable — a sensibly-priced direct replacement for the stock cable that an IEM ships with, sized for users who broke the original or want a backup.
OFC (oxygen-free copper, ~101% IACS) rather than the OCC single-crystal copper of premium cables. Audible difference is small to nonexistent versus stock; the value is mechanical (cable-recoil, microphonics) rather than electrical.
Specify 3.5 mm SE / 2.5 mm balanced / 4.4 mm Pentaconn at source, MMCX / 2-pin / Pentaconn Ear at sink. A direct upgrade over no-cable when your stock cable breaks. See also the replacement Y-cinch.
