AUDIOQUEST ETHERNET RJ/E-FOREST
Over
the past several years there’s been a revolution in the way people
store, distribute, and access digital media (in real time), including
photos, movies, and, of course, music. No longer dependent on physical
media, our media is often data that’s moved from multiple devices to
multiple locations. For audio applications and protocols, audio over
Ethernet offers the virtues of high-speed, low time delay (latency),
significant distance capability (328 feet without an active booster or
repeater), and extremely low-jitter, bit-perfect communication. Who
wouldn’t want all of these things?
SOLID 0.5% SILVER CONDUCTORS:
Solid
conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter.
Solid silver-plated copper conductors are excellent for very
high-frequency applications, like Ethernet audio. These signals, being
such a high frequency travel almost exclusively on the surface of the
conductor. As the surface is made of high-purity silver, the performance
is very close to that of a solid silver cable, but priced much closer
to solid copper cable. This is an incredibly cost effective way of
manufacturing very high quality Ethernet cables.
SOLID HIGH-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE INSULATION:
Any
solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect
circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy
(loss). Some of this energy is stored and then later released as
distortion. Solid High-Density Polyethylene Insulation ensures critical
signal-pair geometry while minimizing insulation-induced phase
distortion.
TERMINATIONS:
Gold-plated nickel connectors with 100% shield coverage.
HIGH-SPEED DATA CAPACITY:
The Cat 7 cable standard has been created to allow 10- Gigabit Ethernet over 100 m of copper cabling.
DIRECTIONALITY:
All
audio cables are directional. The correct direction is determined by
listening to every batch of metal conductors used in every AudioQuest
audio cable. Arrows are clearly marked on the connectors to ensure
superior sound quality. For best results have the arrow pointing in the
direction of the flow of music. For example, NAS to Router, Router to
Network Player.
