The Cardas Iridium Power joins the Iridium Speaker, Interconnect, and Phono cables as the line's entry into power delivery, carrying over the same Crossfield conductor geometry and toroidal filtering used across Cardas's higher-end power cables. Two 11.5 AWG conductors give it enough current capacity for everything from sensitive digital sources to power amplifiers, in a light and flexible cable terminated with Cardas's own 3455R power connectors. Hand-terminated in Bandon, Oregon.
