It's definitely not a new cable (launched in year 2004 where it won Japanese AEx 2005 award) but its achieved status is not challenged.

Since the introduction in year 2006, we continued to challenge ourselves to improve it with various Oyaide plugs and the result is very encouraging!
At present, you can mix and match 6N-p4030 power cable with different Oyaide plugs to achieve your desired requirement and we’ll terminate it for you FOC.
