Belden 6a. Little pricey, but not boutique. Insulated and near impervious to interference. Connect to a network switch powered by a diy linear PS. You can find pcb's on diyaudio. That will firewall noise from your main. Make sure the switch is dedicated to your audio, and when you feel the Belden 6a, you'll know. Its stout.
Ethernet cable question
OK, at the risk of starting a big debate, I have just a dumb question: I see a lot of post talking about Supra 8 and Wireworld ethernet cables, so are you talking about cables making a direct run from your router? I have Cat 5 run throughout my house by me when our home was built 8 years ago. Everything is finished in the home and my sound room is not real close to where I have my network router/modem. So does the ethernet cable going from the wall to my Node 2i make any difference if inside the wall is only Cat5e?

fastfreight- Sorry I lost this thread. This is confusing to me also. The cable is https://www.sotm-audio.com/sotmwp/english/portfolio-item/dcbl-cat7/. I have 2 of the cat7 cables. I also have a https://www.sotm-audio.com/sotmwp/english/portfolio-item/iso-cat6/ with SOtM Black ethernet cables. I use these with an Etherregen and SOtM switch https://www.sotm-audio.com/sotmwp/english/portfolio-item/snh-10g/ The cables clearly improve the sound. I just added an English Electric 8Switch, it has a very positive effect on weight and richness. I may add another 8Switch as I liked the effect. |
Zosion’s Cat 8 cable can capably and consistently support high-speed data transmission rates. In particular, this specific cord can support up to 2 GHz of frequency bandwidth, with up to 40 Gbps of data speed rates. In this case, I like how dependable this network cord is in terms of data speed capability.
