Description Reviews PearlOver the past several years there’s been a revolution in the way people store distribute and access digital media (in real time) including photos movies and of course music. No longer dependent on physical media our media is often data that’s moved from multiple devices to multiple locations. For audio applications and protocols audio over Ethernet offers the virtues of high-speed low time delay (latency) significant distance capability (328 feet without an active booster or repeater) and extremely low-jitter bit-perfect communication. Who wouldn’t want all of these things?Solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) ConductorsSolid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid long-grain copper 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. As 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 PolyethyleneAny solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then later released as distortion. Solid High-Density Polyethylene Insulation ensures critical signal-pair geometry while minimizing insulation-induced phase distortion.TerminationsGold-plated nickel connectors with 100% shield coverage.High-Speed Data CapacityThe Cat 7 cable standard has been created to allow 10- Gigabit Ethernet over 100 m of copper cabling.DirectionalityAll audio cables are directional. The correct direction is determined by listening to every batch of metal conductors used in every AudioQuest audio cable. Arrows are clearly marked on the connectors to ensure superior so SKU: RJEPEA01.5 Categories: Audio Accessories, AUDIOQUEST, Brands, Home Audio
