Cat6 & Cat7 Ethernet/Communication Cables
The convenience of wireless transmission of multi-room
audio and video comes at a steep qualitative price. Even
generic Ethernet cable oers audio performance that’s
clearly superior to the fastest, most robust wireless
networked-audio system. Moving beyond the limitations
of wireless, the specic cable matters too. Bulk data
transfers may not be appreciably aected by cable, but
lesser Ethernet cable does aect the real-time playback
quality of any Ethernet-based network-audio system.
AudioQuest oers multiple CAT600 (Cat6) and CAT700
(Cat7) bulk Ethernet cables for whole-house “electronic
plumbing,” as well as prepared RJ/E Ethernet cables.
While Cat6/CAT600 cables support network speeds
up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps), Cat7/CAT700 cables
support network speeds up to 100 Gbps at 100 meters
length. AudioQuest’s CAT700 and RJ/E prepared
Ethernet cables are all built on a Cat7 foundation, the
highest Cat standard.
In addition to many of AudioQuest’s hallmark materials
and techniques—solid conductors, superior metals,
conductor directionality control—the top Ethernet
models also feature extreme-performance Telegärtner
RJ45 connectors which employ a patented combination
of geometry and circuitry to minimize impedance-
mismatch distortion. The scale of this performance
dierence is slap-in-the-ears obvious and indicative of
the dierence all connectors and materials make. It’s
never just 1’s and 0’s, especially when it's your music!
