DV30: more bandwidth, longer runs

DV30 is Kimber’s step up from V21: a heavier RG6-based coax with an 18 AWG copper center, foamed fluorocarbon insulation and two shields, in a bright yellow-green jacket.

Why DV30 RCA or BNC V21 vs DV30 Specs Why Radique FAQ

The short answer

Kimber Kable DV30 is an RG6-based digital coaxial cable (RG6 is a 75-ohm coax family): an 18 AWG solid copper center conductor, foamed fluorocarbon (FEP foam) insulation, a dual shield of aluminum Mylar foil and tin-plated copper braid, and an FEP jacket, with nitrogen-assisted hand-soldered terminations. Kimber says it gives more bandwidth than V21 and handles longer runs without trouble. It’s sold as a single cable, in 0.75, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 m, with Kimber Ultraplate RCA or gold BNC connectors. Longer lengths, up to 5 m, are available to order.

What makes it DV30

RG6-based, 18 AWG

A heavier center conductor than V21’s 22 AWG, in a coax built on RG6.

Foamed fluorocarbon, dual shield

Low-loss FEP foam insulation inside an aluminum Mylar foil shield and a tin-plated copper braid, under an FEP jacket.

Made for longer runs

Kimber’s pick when the DAC is across the room: more bandwidth than V21, and comfortable over longer lengths.

Inside DV30: 18 AWG solid copper, FEP foam, foil and tin-plated copper shields, FEP jacket. Drawing: Kimber Kable.

RCA or BNC

Pick the length and connector above the Add to Cart button. Check the digital jack on your gear first: most use RCA.

Ultraplate RCA

Kimber’s own RCA plug: the right choice for nearly every CD player, transport, streamer, DAC and receiver with a coaxial digital jack.

BNC

Gold BNC connectors, for the DACs and transports that use a locking BNC digital connection. Listed as “BNC” in the options.

Why buy Kimber from Radique

Genuine, from an authorized dealer

Radique is an authorized Canadian Kimber Kable dealer, so this is the real thing, brand new. Kimber warns that grey-market and counterfeit cable isn’t covered by its factory warranty, which makes where you buy it matter.

Honest help choosing

Tell us what you’re connecting and we’ll help you compare the Kimber models and our own Radique alternatives, without the usual cable-sales smoke machine. Sometimes the honest answer is that the cable you have is fine.

Free shipping within Canada

Kimber ships free anywhere in Canada. If your address is remote and the carrier adds a surcharge, we’ll contact you before anything ships. Prefer to collect it? Pick up free in Kanata by appointment. We also ship internationally: outside Canada, enter your city and postal code on the cart page to see live carrier rates. Cables like these ship in our high-quality Radique Audio bubble packs.

Other lengths and models, to order

We list the most-asked lengths. Kimber makes DV30 up to 5 m, and we have special-order access to Kimber’s 500+ SKU catalogue, including its silver D60. Ask for a quote.

Kimber at Radique, on video

Yes, polar bears got us into this

A customer in Churchill, Manitoba kept upgrading his cables until he pulled us all the way into becoming an authorized Kimber Kable dealer. True story, with a jaw-dropping 12TC unboxing and Kimber’s 4PR in the real world.

How we pack your order

Cables and connectors ship in our high-quality Radique Audio bubble packs. If your order also includes speakers or other larger gear, everything is boxed up together in our 275 lb-test double-wall packaging, as in this video.

Questions we get about this cable

DV30 or V21: is the step up worth it?

If your run is short and your system is modest, V21 is a fine choice. DV30 earns its place with longer runs and more revealing systems: an RG6-based build with a heavier 18 AWG center, foamed fluorocarbon insulation and a dual shield. We’ll help you decide.

Is this one cable or a pair?

One cable. A coaxial digital connection uses a single cable, so that’s how DV30 is sold.

What does it connect?

Any coaxial digital (S/PDIF) link: a CD player, transport, streamer, TV or game console to a DAC, receiver or processor. Use the jack marked “coaxial” or “digital out”, not the red and white analog jacks.

Do you offer lengths you don’t list?

Yes. Kimber makes DV30 in lengths up to 5 m. Ask us for a quote and we’ll order it in for you.

Any tips for connecting it?

Switch the components off before you plug or unplug cables. It’s the safest habit with any audio connection.

What warranty does it have?

Every new Kimber cable we sell carries our 30-day warranty on new third-party products: if it fails in normal use we repair or replace it at our expense. Because we’re an authorized dealer, it’s also eligible for Kimber’s own factory warranty, which Kimber says excludes grey-market and counterfeit cable. Keep your Radique invoice as proof of purchase. Details are in our warranty FAQ.

What does shipping cost? Is pickup possible?

Kimber ships free anywhere in Canada. If your address is remote and the carrier adds a surcharge, we’ll contact you before anything ships. To collect it instead, choose the free Kanata pickup option at checkout and we’ll set up a time with you. We also ship internationally: add it to the cart, then on the cart page enter your city and postal code to see real-time carrier rates before you commit.

Questions about your digital connection?

Tell us the gear on both ends and we’ll confirm the right connector and length before you order.
