Hi, All Atlas cables are purpose made for their application according to their price points. That's how we get a commonalty of sound or video characteristics that reveal more information as we improve the conductor type from OFC, through OCC and pure Silver and the dielectrics from Polyethylene through Teflon (PTFE) to our new and unique Microporous Teflon, and finally the solder free plugs quality.
No Atlas cables are purloined from another application. All are researched, developed and designed by Atlas. The number on the sheath to which you refer is our batch production number.
Anyone wanting to understand the science behind our designs may find it at
www.atlascables.com or call me on the freephone number we provide in the site.
