The Performance Ethernet cable is able to transmit high definition digital audio between networked Ethernet components and is ideal for HD audio streamer applications up to 24 bit/192kHz. At QED we have identified that reducing jitter or timing errors within the digital signal makes for cleaner audio transmission and with Ethernet this is no different. With CAT 6 UTP specification and 250MHz bandwidth, the Performance Ethernet is more than equipped to handle the latest high definition digital audio.
8/8 RJ45 Gold Plated Connectors
Stranded 24AWG 99.999% OFC copper conductors and gold plated 8/8 RJ45 jack plugs to maintain low insertion loss figures throughout the life of the cable by minimizing signal reflections and keeping contact resistances low.
CAT 6 UTP Specification
100? Characteristic impedance.
High Bandwidth
Most ordinary patch cables are constructed to the Cat5e standard and are only specified for data rates up to 100MHz. The QED Performance Ethernet cable is an over-specified CAT6 UTP patch cable capable of data rates up to 250MHz – which gives it plenty of headroom when used in an HD Audio streamer application.
Ideal For HD Audio Streamer Applications
Up to 24bit/192kHz
Asymmetric Twist Rates For Reduced Cross-Talk
A polyethylene former is used to physically separate each twisted pair into its own compartment within the cable keeping the geometry extremely uniform. This further contributes to the elimination of cross-talk within the cable and maintains the tight 100 ohm characteristic impedance demanded by the Cat6 UTP standard.
Very Low Jitter
Jitter is the undesired deviation from true periodicity of an assumed periodic signal in electronics and telecommunications, often in relation to a reference clock source. A cable displaying very low jitter has been measured at
typically 50ps.
Q What is the QED Performance Ethernet Graphite cable and what is it used for?
It's an Ethernet cable designed for HD audio streamer applications up to 24-bit/192kHz, engineered to reduce jitter (timing errors) in digital signals for clearer audio transmission between networked components.
Q What are the conductors made of?
Stranded 24AWG, 99.999% oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors, following the CAT 6 UTP specification with 100Ω characteristic impedance.
Q What performance level does it reach?
An over-specified CAT6 UTP cable with 250MHz bandwidth (exceeding the Cat5e standard of 100MHz), supporting data rates up to 10GBase-T, with jitter typically measured at 50ps.
Q How does it reduce crosstalk?
It uses asymmetric twist rates and a polyethylene former that physically separates the twisted pairs for uniform geometry.
Q What are the connectors, and what lengths are available?
8/8 RJ45 gold-plated connectors with gold-plated jack plugs, available in 1.5 meter or 5 meter lengths.
