Conventional star-quad configuration: two connectors at each end, joined to a pair of opposite-side conductors. We also offer this cable in bi-wired configurations; search our listings to find those. ^^ The best terminations in the industry: our unique ultrasonic welding process fuses the copper wire directly to the brass banana or spade connector, with no intervening metal, no compression sleeves or setscrews. ^^ Star quad cable configuration reduces EM field around the cable for reduced interaction with other system cabling ^^ Assembled in Seattle, Washington at our own cable shop, using BJC's proprietary connectors and Sonobond welder. ^^ Our locking banana plugs give the best possible engagement between plug and binding post; advancing the locking collar tightens the splines to the inside of the post.
