About the QED Performance Ethernet Cable
Streaming adds another connection to a hi-fi system, and a wired one is steadier than Wi-Fi. This cable is built to the CAT 6 FTP specification, and QED say it supports high-resolution audio up to DSD1024.
Inside are 99.999% oxygen-free copper conductors with an asymmetric twist rate, and an HDPE spacer to reduce skew and crosstalk between pairs. The RJ45 plugs are shielded and gold-plated, and the jacket is ultra-flexible stone grey TPE, 6.8 mm across.
It is part of QED’s Performance range. Use it between a streamer, network player or music server and a router or network switch.
