I have a pair of interconnects that I'd like to identify.
The cable is pale blue and has printing in while capitals saying SILVER AUDIO INTERCONNECT CABLE followed by a long arrow at 30 cm intervals. They are 8 or 8.5 mm in diameter.
There seems to be a black and a white inner cable surrounded by copper braiding and a cotton sleeve around that.
I seem to remember this was given to me when I bought an expensive bit of equipment so it may be a rather special cable - or not!
Thanks for any help.

Here's a photo - another to follow. I've also sent them to the Silver Cable company and am awaiting their reply, although they didn't recognise them from the description.
Anyone here recognise them or can suggest a likely quality level?
Thanks

Is there any chance you can post a picture of it?
It may help get the answer faster if wire experts can see it as well.
A photo of the cable construction to follow the one I posted of the sleeve.
The photo seems to indicate the interconnect cable is a shielded twisted pair, with silver plated stranded copper conductors, and a bare copper braided shield, terminated with a mundane rca connector.
I've seen many RCA connectors over the years, but don't know who makes 'mundane'?
Too much is never enough
Would you like to hazard a guess as to how good it might be after changing it to balanced with XLR sockets? I'm thinking of cutting it down to 1 m lengths for balanced interconnects between NAD M12 digital preamp and Benchmark amp.
Thanks
I suggest you give the cables a try for an application that requires rca interconnects in order to hear how it actually sounds. Before you re-terminate the cables with XLR connectors, the best judge would be your own ears. Perhaps a local audio shop would let you listen to the cables with their demo gear if your audio system doesn't have components with rca jacks.
Google shows a Silver Audio company, probably one of their older models.
AB.
Thanks AB. I had thought the printing was simply a description of the cable rather than a trademark. However I've written to Silver Cable to ask if they can recognise it and advise on its suitability for changing the RCAs to XLRs for balanced connection preamp to power amp.

Why not just a quick trip down to Guitar Center for a pair of Mogami Studio Gold?
