Known as the ‘Atlas Achromatic RCA plug’, Atlas has focused on improving both performance and appearance to create a higher performance starting point for their RCA cables as well as eliminating variability in performance. This has been achieved by refocusing on materials and the assembly processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAtlas has made 4 key changes with the Achromatic RCA plug. Firstly, the barrel of the Achromatic plug features a high stability ABS material. This is strong, stable and of superlative surface quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is also an improvement to the Achromatic plug’s contact geometry, aiding the contact properties of the plug and the self-cleaning wiping action to ensure contacts are in optimal condition and to maximise signal transmission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe third change Atlas made was around the rifling of the RCA pin. This improvement self-aligns the conductors during the cold weld processing, ensuring a superior stable connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, there is a reduction in the overall mass of the RCA plug by 8% which has shown to improve signal transmission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe above changes mean a solder-free, low mass, self-cleaning, recyclable RCA plug with a non-conductive body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOhno Continuous Casting Copper (OCC Copper) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Ohno continuous casting method re-heats the extrusion as the molten copper is forced out of the mould and very slowly and gradually draws the grain or crystal down the conductor''s length, creating a ‘single crystal structure.’ Actually, because no copper is 100% pure, there will always be a few boundaries produced by impurities. The frequency of boundaries created are quite insignificant.

However, PVC is the worst quality insulation a Hi-Fi or AV signal can encounter as its high loss causes a significant reduction in signal velocity. PVC is better suited to power cables and should be avoided in Hi-Fi and AV signal cables. Other dielectrics in common use are Polyethylene, Polypropylene and Polytetrafluoride Epoxy (better known as PTFE (Teflon™) or Teflon,) and the new and unique Atlas (PTFE). PEF (Foamed Polyethylene). The foaming process uses a blowing agent, of which there are two types. Atlas use the gas-foamed method which creates a more inert, consistent and higher quality product. The table below shows the properties of a selection of dielectrics. Though not used as a dielectric in Atlas' cables, PVC is included for comparison purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"6\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDielectric Material Comparison (0.3mm Diameter)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProperty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolyvinyl Chloride (PVC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFoamed Polyethylene (PEF)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolypropylene (P.P)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTeflon (FEP or PTFE)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePTFE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDielectric Constant (@ 50 -106Hz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4-8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2.3\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.25\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDielectric Strength (kV mm-1)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23-30\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e30-50\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30-50\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20-25\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLoss Tangent (% @ 50 - 106Hz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8-15\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e0.02-0.05\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.02-0.06 (@ 106Hz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.02-0.07\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVolume Resistivity (Ohms.cm @ 20°C)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1012-15\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u0026gt;1017\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.5x1014\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026gt;1016\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTensile Strength (Kg mm-2)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.0-2.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.0-2.0\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.0-4.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.9-2.2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMelting Point (°C)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-130\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e112-120\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e155-160\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e275\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e275\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax.
