Cardas cables last forever. Which could be a problem, since your equipment might change. Fortunately, Cardas cables can be re-terminated with new connectors to suit your changing needs. And our lifetime warranty is there if you never have an issue. Obtain a return authorization to get a quote, and to send your cables in for service. Top Re-Termination, Repair, Warranty, & Authentication Service Click the button to fill out our Return Authorization Form, to initiate the process of having your cable re-terminated or repaired. Or read more about re-terminations and warranty service below. This form can be used for sending any Cardas product in for service, cable or otherwise. Return Authorization Form Our lifetime warranty We offer a lifetime warranty on our cables. In the unlikely event that your Cardas cables develops a functionality issue, please send it to us for repair. Just obtain a Return Authorization Number at this link , and follow the instructions. Before doing so, you're welcome to contact Cardas tech support for trouble-shooting guidance. Although the problem may be the cable, cable problems are exceedingly rare. It is not uncommon for somebody assume (or hope) that a cable is the source of a problem, send it to us for service, the cables tests perfectly, and they then realize that the actual problem is with one of their components. Perhaps wishful thinking is at play - it's a lot easier to send a cable in for service than it is to send a heavy amplifier or a delicate turntable. Our tech support advisor may be able to help you determine if the problem is truly with the cable. What is covered by the warranty? Bad or intermittent internal connections. Shorts. Loose connectors. General functionality & listenability issues. Nearly anything that can go wrong with a cable through no fault of the user. What is not? Wear and tear, such as scratched plating. Bent or broken banana plugs. Cosmetic issues. Animal damage. Vacuum cleaner damage. Re-terminations Our shop can re-terminate (ie, change the connectors on) your Cardas cables, should your needs change. • If you have a long pair of cables, we can cut & re-terminate it into two (or more) shorter pairs. • If you buy a new set of headphones, we can modify your Cardas headphone cable to work with them. • If you move from the US to Europe, we can put Shucko plugs on your Cardas power cables. • If you buy speakers with bi-wire binding posts, we can bi-wire your single-wire Cardas speaker cables. • If you switch from a balanced system to single-ended, we can change your Cardas interconnects from XLR to RCA. Or vice-versa. Nearly any Cardas cable can be modified in nearly any way. Note - we only service Cardas cables. If you have cables made by another manufacturer, they can perform this service for you. To begin the process of having your Cardas cables re-terminated, fill out the form at this link , and we'll contact you with a quote. Can't I repair or re-terminate my cables myself, or have a local shop do it? It's your cable, so yeah, do what you want. But we're glad to honor our warranty if your cable develops and issue. And if we repair or re-terminate your cable, your lifetime warranty remains intact. If Cardas cables are serviced elsewhere, the warranty becomes void. Keep in mind that we use Litz conductors. Even the most experienced technician or talented solder-ist (is that a word?) is unlikely to have much if any experience with this sort of wire. Most cables attempted to be serviced outside of our shop end up here anyway. So why not skip that frustrating and disappointing middle step? My cable has a problem, but I also want it re-terminated to different connectors. Can that be done under warranty? Our warranty polic y is pretty liberal, but it is limited to restoring your cable to its original state. In other words, if your headphone cable for Sennheiser HD800s develops a short, but you also want it re-terminated for use with Focal headphones, that is not a warranty repair. If your RCA interconnect has an issue, but you also want it switched to XLR, again, not a warranty situation. Authentication Service If you have cables that you would like us to inspect and authenticate, please fill out the form above, as you would for a re-termination or repair. Please be advised that cables deemed to be counterfeit will be indelibly marked and/or branded, and returned. If you purchased second hand cables and you doubt their authenticity, your best option is to return them for a refund from the seller.

Clear Sky “Sky speaker and interconnect hit a sweet spot in terms of price & performance. These cables reveal a level of realism and detail that one would usually spend a lot more to get. Don’t compare these to other cables at the same price point - listen to them in comparison to the high-end cables of other brands.” -R. Coleman, Oakland, CA Sky Interconnect Where To Buy << SE9 MP Sky Speaker FAQ Choosing A Cable Parsec >> Interconnect Sky Interconnect Performance: Transparent, dynamic, and neutral. Lowest priced interconnect using Matched Propagation technology. Excellent in long or short lengths. Suitable for any high-end system. Standard Terminations: Cardas GRMO or Neutrik XLR. Design/Construction: Conductors: Matched Propagation Kevlar core, Grade 1, 99.9999% pure oxygen free copper with SPN clear coat (Litz), gauge sizes scaled to Golden Ratio proportions. Braided cross-field layer geometry, insulated in advanced ultra thin FEP tape wrapped jacket. Geometry: Shielded twisted pair with non conductive poly-e air-tubes bound with advanced ultra thin FEP tape wrap. Outer layer uses compressed poly-e air-tubes to suspend the tin plated copper braided shield and extruded alcryn rubber outer jacket away from the conductors. Gauge: 2x23.5 AWG Outside Diameter: 0.365”/9.27mm Speaker Sky X4 Speaker Performance: Based on its big brother, Clear Cygnus speaker cable, the newly up- graded Clear Sky X4 now offers better resolution than the originalSky, and is more suitable for a wider range of speakers. Our new braided conductors allow reduced production time with minimal sacrifice of performance. The new X4 geometry also allows for internal bi-wire. Finished with Cardas custom printed shrink tubing instead of machined aluminum strain relief, and soldered con- nectors instead of compression die forged terminations, Clear Sky X4 brings serious performance to the most affordable end of the Clear cable line. Standard Terminations: Soldered Cardas CGMS spades or CABD bananas. Design/Construction: Braided Matched Propagation, fibrillated polypropylene core, Grade 1, 99.9999% pure OFHC copper with SPN clear coat (Litz), gauge sizes scaled to Golden Ratio proportions. Cross-field layer geometry, insulated in a low noise PTFE tape and Electro-Dissipative dielectric. Geometry: Concentrically braided four conductor surrounded by anti- static coated fibrillated polypropylene fibers. Outside jacket is very flexible Alcryn Rubber. Gauge: 4x15 AWG Outside Diameter: 0.720”8.30mm
