Ethernet cables


Hello everybody!

I would like to have your opinions about Ethernet cables. I recently saw some silly expensive Ethernet cables! Do you think it is worth spending a huge amount for a cable which transfers data? Your thoughts please! 
Thank you!

  • .......I started a very similar thread  ( my apology ) and much to what has been discussed here, the quality of the cable is important to a degree but it is the connections that seems to play the most importance. I am new to this side of the audio world but just purchased the Accuphase digital separates and they have a coaxial as well as an ethernet connection between the DAC and transport. It seems that Accuphase likes the ethernet connection between these two pieces. So with that said and true to Cardas Audio ......they use their own copper wires but use the very good German Ethernet connector ; Telegartner. So the wire is important but what I am reading is that the connector is critical. Thoughts ....?           

……please correct me if I am wrong here , I do not believe that Cardas buys their cables from another manufacturer. I do believe that they are one of only a few that does manufacture their own cables .  So you might want to look into that statement to see if you are correct .
