QED Reference Ethernet Cable-1m

The Reference Ethernet is ideal for establishing a connection between a high-resolution digital audio streamer and a local network. It has more than enough bandwidth to handle the data rates needed by 32 bit/384 kHz and DSD512 audio files.

The Class I Category 8.1 cable Reference Ethernet, which supports 40G Ethernet, offers the headroom to handle even the most data-intensive applications. Since 1995, QED has conducted extensive study into cable design and has been creating and constructing improved analogue and digital cables. The company's new Reference Ethernet cable is guided by the findings of this research.

When connecting an HD Audio streamer device to your home network, you should choose a patch cable of the highest calibre to prevent timing mistakes from being introduced by crosstalk between cable pairs. Also, you need to make sure that the cable has enough bandwidth to support the data speeds needed for Hi Res Audio streaming and that insertion losses brought on by subpar contact quality and improper impedance matching are kept to a minimum. The majority of common patch cables are built to the CAT 5e standard and only have a bandwidth limit of 150 MHz.
