These copper conductors have been plated with a thick layer of palladium followed by a thick layer of gold to protect against corrosion. The use of palladium as an inter-metallic diffusion barrier opposed to nickel prevents distortions that would be introduced via the magnetic properties of nickel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/9777\/files\/Kimber-naked-balanced-interconnect-detail.jpg?v=1590022796\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy use NAKED conductors?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe dielectrics or insulators commonly used in interconnect design have a negative impact on the signal transmission. These polymer insulators are normally used to protect the metallic conductor from corrosion and to prevent the conductors from a short circuit condition. Polymer insulations do a remarkable job at these two things at the expense of signal transmission fidelity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNaked accomplishes the same goals as a traditional insulated conductor.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInhibition of corrosion: Naked conductors are protected from corrosion through our palladium\/gold plating process. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShort circuit prevention: To prevent the 6 uninsulated (per channel) \"Naked\" conductors from touching, causing a short circuit, the conductors have been carefully braided with cotton strands.
