ETHERNET CABLES


When using ethernet for hooking up streaming devices and dacs, what cat level of  ethernet cable should be used. Is there any sonic improvement by going to a  higher dollar cat 7 or 8 cable?

@fredrik222 nothing to learn from you that I can not learn from my IT People. BTW I use a Blue Jeans Cat 6 Ethernet cable.

Now I will call you a name again Fred, gfys and Amir if he is into that.

Fiber/Optical is taking out any emi rfi and cleaning the signal up.

Similar to using the small green computer optical isolation bundle 

Was a thread on this at one point. 

  • Seamless Conversion of LC Fiber to Copper – This fiber optic to ethernet media converter kit includes a multimode 1000BASE-SX SFP module(850nm), which enables you to convert 1000BASE-SX LC fiber to 10/100/1000 Base-T RJ-45 copper media or vice versa
  • Extend Your Transmission Distance – By using this ethernet fiber media converter, you can easily extend link distance up to 550 meters/ 1804 ft via OM3/OM4 multimode fiber (MMF, LC, Duplex)
  • Plug and Play – No software installation or configuration required. Hot-swappable design makes this ethernet fiber converter easy to install and troubleshoot
  • Reliable Auto-Negotiation Gigabit Connection – 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation RJ45 Port supports Auto-MDI/MDIX Crossover and Half-Duplex / Full-Duplex Transfer Mode, bridging different network speeds and devices to a Gigabit fiber network

Oh boy... 10Gtek for isolation, Coverts to Fiber Optic (great noise reduction) then use your BJC Cat 6. I have Cat 8 from the modem to the switch. 

Sounds awesome...Yo need 2 and FO Cable $70.00

 

 

Head on down the cable deniers rabbit hole.

My gear sounds awesome with every improvement I made.

Have a great day. 

@audphile1 he is that kid who keeps sticking his hand on the hot stove.  But hey every forum needs a blow hard  Ethernet cable expert, right?

 

 

@dinov Thank you for the shout out and I am glad you are hearing the value.

Enjoy the music!

Sure is @jerrybj I have gotten a lot of great advice here and at WBF. Also some real bad advice here so proceed with caution.  

@fredrik222 did not call you a name nor did I burn you on a steak. Quite the drama queen.

I said use what you like and that you have an empty head.

Now I will call you a name, Fred, gfys.
