The Gigawatt LC-Y Evo 3X4 is a shielded installation cable, designed to optimally provide power to audio and video systems that are sensitive to interference. This new cable, a proprietary design by Gigawatt itself, improves the efficiency of any single-phase electrical network with a voltage between 110-240V, thus optimizing the potential of any system. An unobstructed and lossless power flow is first made possible by the power-carrying conductors in the LC-Y Evo cable. The power-carrying conductors are constructed from three solid cores, each with a cross-section of 4 mm2. Solid cores simply perform better than twisted cables. The conductors of the LC-Y Evo are made of 99.997% pure copper (OFHC C10100) and are furthermore subjected to an annealing process (very slow cooling), which gives them a uniform structure and better conductivity. According to Gigawatt, the use of solid cores is essential for perfect power supply. Twisted power cables are indeed flexible, but sound absolutely worse. This is due to a certain degree of distortion in such a cable. The Gigawatt LC-Y Evo is the successor to the LC-Y MK3+ cable and features a modified conductor geometry compared to its predecessor. This new geometry provides an even more effective lowpass RFI filter and is characterized by greater resistance to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Simply fewer disturbances end up in the cable. A new, flexible insulation material PK90AT28 was also used as an insulator for the conductors, which has a very low dielectric value. The solid conductors of the Gigawatt LC-Y Evo cable are protected by a static shield made of aluminum-polyester foil with an internal, tinned copper strand. The tight construction of the static shield covers 100% of the cable's surface and protects perfectly (100%) against all types of EMI and RFI external interference. Furthermore, the shielding construction prevents the appearance and spread of internal interference. The conductors together with the shield are encased in a special soft plastic material that insulates the LC-Y Evo cable against external vibrations. External vibrations also affect the operation (sound) of a cable. In the improved LC-Y EVO cable, this inner insulation layer is made of a transparent TPV56 polymer which has very good damping properties. The use of this new material also means that the entire cable has become more flexible. However, the Gigawatt LC-Y cable is still not easy to thread through a tight conduit with sharp bends. The entire cable is covered with a flexible yet highly durable protective sheath made of insulation material GA 70AT03. Installation of the LC-Y EVO 3X4 cable is recommended for use in listening rooms, recording studios, cinema halls, etc. The Gigawatt LC-Y Evo complies with the requirements of the LDV73/23/EEC and 93/68/EEC directives, so it can also be used in places that are particularly exposed to electromagnetic radiation, such as airports, hospitals, computer stations, or spaces with sensitive measuring equipment. Home circuits installed with the LC-Y Evo cable are the perfect solution for people sensitive to electromagnetic radiation. The Gigawatt LC-Y EVO 3X4 is designed for use in built-in and surface-mounted installations in dry and wet spaces and directly on concrete.
