About the QED Performance Audio Graphite
The multi-award winning Performance range includes the Performance Audio Graphite analogue interconnect. It draws on design concepts from QED's high-end Reference range, including 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, maintaining signal quality for the lifetime of the cable.
24k gold plated phono plugs
Gold does not tarnish, providing a lasting low-resistance contact at the plug-to-socket interface.
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 plug 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 end only, which is why the cable jacket carries directionality arrows.

About the QED QE6102
From our tech experts at CEN
The QED Performance QE6102 Audio Graphite is a 3m 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 QED 6-leaf RCA plugs. It connects a CD player, DAC or tuner to an amplifier or receiver.
Who it suits
This cable suits anyone building a quality hi-fi system who needs a longer run between source and amplifier. The quasi-balanced geometry and low-capacitance LDPE dielectric offer a step up from a basic interconnect. For a shorter run, the QED Performance QE6101 Audio Graphite 1m is also available.
Our tech experts advise
Measure the distance between your source and amplifier before ordering to avoid unnecessary excess cable. The jacket carries directionality arrows — connect so these point from source to amplifier for correct electrostatic screening. Gold-plated connectors need no special care, but keep them dust-free when not in use. Browse the full QED collection to compare lengths and cable types.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What can I connect with the QED QE6102?
A: The QED Performance Audio Graphite 3m is a stereo RCA (phono) interconnect for connecting a CD player, DAC or tuner to an amplifier or receiver. It also suits AV amplifiers and DVD players with RCA connections.
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 QE6102 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.
