The Gigawatt LC-Y Evo 3X4 is a shielded installation cable, designed to optimally supply power to audio and video systems that are sensitive to interference. This new cable, a proprietary design by Gigawatt itself, improves the efficiency of each single-phase power grid with a voltage between 110-240V, thereby utilizing the potential of each system. An energy flow without delay or loss is made possible in the first place by the current-carrying wires in the LC-Y Evo cable. The current-carrying wires are constructed from three solid conductors, each with a cross-section of 4 mm2. Solid conductors simply do their job better than twisted cables. The conductors of the LC-Y Evo are made of 99.997% pure copper (OFHC C10100), and have also undergone an annealing process (very slow cooling), which gives them a uniform structure and better conductivity. According to Gigawatt, the use of solid conductors is essential for perfect power supply. Twisted power cables are flexible, but they sound absolutely less good. This is due to a certain amount of interstitial effects in such a cable. The Gigawatt LC-Y Evo is the successor to the LC-Y MK3+ cable, and has a modified wire 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). So 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 static shielding made of aluminum-polyester foil with an internal tinned copper wire. The tight construction of the static shielding covers 100% of the cable's surface and provides perfect (100%) protection against all types of external EMI and RFI interference. Furthermore, the shielding construction prevents the appearance and spread of internal disturbances. The wires together with the shielding are enclosed in a special soft plastic material that insulates the LC-Y Evo cable against external vibrations. External vibrations also have an influence on 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 pull through a tight conduit with tight bends. The entire cable is covered with a flexible but highly durable protective sheath made of GA 70AT03 insulation material. Installation of the LC-Y EVO 3X4 cable is recommended for use in listening rooms, recording studios, movie theaters, etc. The Gigawatt LC-Y Evo complies with the requirements of directives LDV73/23/EEC and 93/68/EEC, so it can also be used in places that are particularly exposed to electromagnetic radiation, such as airports, hospitals, computer stations, or rooms with sensitive measurement equipment. Power circuits at home, made with the LC-Y Evo cable, are the perfect solution for people who are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation. The Gigawatt LC-Y EVO 3X4 is designed to be used in built-in and surface-mounted installations in dry and wet spaces and directly on concrete.
