Van den Hul The Bay C5 Hybrid #1
Van den Hul The Bay C5 Hybrid variant 1

Van den Hul The Bay C5 Hybrid

Netherlands flag

The high-quality conductor material used in this cable is large crystal OFC with a dense silver coating. The Bay C5 Hybrid furthermore has been fully equipped with Linear Structured Carbon ® (LSC) saturated layers which are standard in our more expensive cable products. These layers dramatically improve transparency and imaging; by electrically bridging any metal crystal defects a stable conductivity at the lowest signal levels is obtained.


  • The coaxial construction is made with a centre conductor consisting of 40 x 0.12 mm. strands exhibiting an effective cross-section area of 0.452 mm² (AWG 20.6) and a resistance of 3.8 Ohm/100 meter.
  • The centre conductor is coated with a layer of LSC and is insulated with foamed polyethene.
  • The cable capacitance is 110 pF/m.
  • The double screen is made of a 16 x 6 x 0.12 mm. stranded braid underneath a Linear Structured Carbon ® saturated layer to further close the cable against HF signals and to dramatically improve the signal quality.
  • The total resistance of the screen is 1.6 Ohm/100 meter.
  • The external 5.2 mm. diameter jacket is made of red coloured Hulliflex ® 4, a material with superior properties compared to e.g. PVC; Hulliflex ® gives The Bay C5 Hybrid a very long life span without any ageing effects.

Shipping: On 200 m. reels. Shipping: 1 x 200 m. reel packed in a 275 x 275 x 220 mm. box with a total shipping weight of 7.33 kg.
