Go Cat8!


I just changed my Maicord Opal Cat6 which was no slouch in its day to an Onti Cat8 from AliExpress, linking the Etherregen to my InnuOS Zenith Mk3: Shazam, cristal clear treble, vibrating bass and an enormous increase in the recordings‘ ambience and liveliness. It goes to emphasize how important the short bit of cable between switch and server actually is. Highly recommended, the Onti Cat8 is a heavy gauge, heavily shielded cable with state of the art magnesium connectors.

@steakster I bought #3.  Actually bought a 15m cable and extra connectors in order to make custom lengths.  

Coming from wifi, I can't compare to other ethernet cables.   It is more bulky and you will need adequate space in order to route.  

For now,  I have a 3m length that connects my Comcast gateway to a Hifi Rose 150.   Definitely gives you a secure, robust connection.
