Cat 6 is fine for streaming audio. Ethernet cables work or they don't. You will read all kinds of subjective opinions from night and day difference to none at all. If you're bored and want to try get 25 feet of expensive wire and compare just do the comparison blind and let your ears decide not your eyes.
Ethernet Cables
Hello All,
Hope everyone is safe,healthy & employed
Regarding Ethernet cables-does a "HI End" cable like Audioquest,Nordost etc and the like..do these
make a significant difference regarding a regular type brand--cat 6--needed for Streaming
I do need a long run ie 20-25 feet. AM i ok using a standard brand from a computer store or are these
expensive hi end brands better to stream?
Many Thanks

Ethernet cables work or they don'tTrouble shooting. Pages 8 thru 11 https://warwick.ac.uk/services/its/servicessupport/cabling/activities/fluke_copper_testing.pdf Just one example. An Ethernet cable may work but the receiving device may exhibit occasional errors. One possible cause. • Poor quality patch cords . |
Yes poor quality patch cables cause problems so it’s best to stick with cables that meet standards. I always make sure they have the appropriate labeling. https://community.fs.com/blog/network-cable-standards-tia-568-vs-iso-11801-vs-en-50173.html Little more info on choosing the right cables. https://community.fs.com/blog/network-communication-cables-that-power-your-internet.html |
