The Scorpion Advantage...
Scorpion Cables are different. We use the best materials and construction techniques in order
to create high performance cables at affordable prices.
All of our cables are extensively tested and continuity checked (for
proper impedence values) prior to shipping.
The following technical specifications are what
gives Scorpion Cables a sting in the tail:
Canare RCA (Phono) Plugs
Generic 'off-the-shelf' RCA Phono plugs are quite common and have been in use for a very long time...well over 50 years. Old-style RCA type solder plugs have an impedance characteristic of roughly 25ohm and exhibit extremely poor Return Loss performance when mated with precision 75ohm coaxial video cable.
In fact, they are virtually unusable for 6MHz Broadcast Video frequencies, high bandwidth RGB video monitor lines, or even Digital Audio data bit streams.
Canare's all new 75ohm type RCAP crimp plugs are impedance matched and achieve outstanding analogue and digital electrical performance with a usable bandwith to 200MHz.
