It sits in Kimber's Summit Series. The center conductor is silver, the dielectric is air-articulated fluorocarbon, and two helically wound shields surround it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eA Pure Silver Conductor in Air-Articulated Fluorocarbon\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eKimber lists the conductor type as silver and the dielectric as a low-loss, air-articulated fluorocarbon. Air stores less of the signal's energy than a solid plastic, and the fluorocarbon tape holds the conductor centered.

The D-60 measures 55.2 picofarads of parallel capacitance, 0.502 microhenries of series inductance and 0.115 ohms of DC resistance per meter.
