AudioQuest Cinnamon RJ/E (Ethernet) CAT7 Cable

AudioQuest Cinnamon RJ/E (Ethernet) CAT7 Cable

The cable has a black/red braided sheath up to 3 metres, above that the finish is black/red PVC.

Over the past few years, there has been a revolution in the way people store, distribute, and access their digital media, such as photos, movies, and of course music. No longer dependent on physical media, our media today is mostly data that can be moved across multiple devices and locations. For audio applications and protocols, Ethernet offers the advantage of high speed, low latency, the ability to travel over long distances (300 meters without an active booster or repeater), extremely low jitter, and bit-perfect communication. Who wouldn’t want all these advantages!

SOLID 1.25% SILVER CONDUCTORS: Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid silver-plated 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. Because 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 printed circuit board materials absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then later released as distortion. Solid High-Density Polyethylene Insulation ensures critical cable geometry while minimizing insulation-induced phase distortion.

CONNECTIONS: Gold-plated nickel connectors with 100% shielding.

HIGH SPEED DATA CAPACITY: The CAT 7 specification was developed to enable 10 Gigabit Ethernet over 100 m of copper cable.

DIRECTIONALITY: All audio cables are directional. The correct direction is determined by listening to each batch of metal conductors used in all AudioQuest cables. Arrows on the plugs clearly indicate the correct direction to ensure optimum sound quality. For best results, the arrows should point in the direction of the signal flow. For example, from a NAS to a Router, or from a Router to a Network Player.
