About the QED Performance Audio Graphite 1m
The award-winning Performance range brings design concepts from QED's high-end Reference range into the Performance Audio analogue interconnect. It is designed to connect a CD player, DAC or tuner to an amplifier or receiver, using quasi-balanced geometry, low capacitance dielectric materials and 24k gold plated RCA plugs. All QED cables carry a lifetime guarantee.
99.999% oxygen free copper conductors
OFC conductors resist degradation over time, ensuring long-term signal integrity.
24k gold plated phono plugs
Gold does not tarnish, maintaining a low resistance contact throughout the cable's life.
Low density polyethylene dielectric
LDPE's low dielectric constant reduces audio signal energy lost to cable capacitance.
Ergonomically sculptured zinc plated alloy barrel
Makes installation straightforward and gives the cable a quality finish.
Quasi-balanced geometry
Signal and return conductors are twisted together to provide common mode noise rejection beyond that of a conventional unbalanced cable.
Electrostatic screen
The Al/Mylar wrap shields against external high voltage noise. It is connected at the source equipment end only, which is why the cable jacket carries directionality arrows.

About the QED QE6101
From our tech experts at CEN
The QED Performance QE6101 Audio Graphite is a 1m stereo RCA phono analogue interconnect cable from QED's Performance range. It uses 99.999% oxygen-free copper conductors, quasi-balanced twisted pair geometry and 24k gold-plated RCA plugs with an LDPE dielectric. All QED cables carry a lifetime guarantee.
Who it suits
This cable suits anyone connecting a CD player, DAC or tuner to an amplifier or receiver with around 1m between components. If the gap is shorter or longer, the 0.6m Audio Graphite or 3m Audio Graphite may be a better fit.
Our tech experts advise
The QE6101 is a directional cable: follow the arrows printed on the jacket and connect the marked end to the source component. The Al/Mylar electrostatic screen is grounded at the source end only, which is why direction matters for noise rejection. Measure your cable run carefully before ordering to avoid unnecessary slack or tension at the connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What can I connect with the QED QE6101?
A: The QED Performance Audio Graphite 1m is a stereo RCA (phono) interconnect for connecting a CD player, DAC or tuner to an amplifier or receiver.
Q: Is the QED Performance Audio Graphite cable directional?
A: Yes. The electrostatic screen is only connected at the source equipment end, which is why there are directionality arrows on the cable jacket. Follow the arrows when connecting your source to your amplifier or receiver.
Q: What plugs does the QED QE6101 use?
A: 24k gold plated QED 6 leaf RCA plugs with an ergonomically sculptured zinc plated alloy barrel. Gold does not tarnish, so it provides a lasting low resistance contact.
