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?

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

 

 

@juanmanuelfangioii what is the purpose of this equipment? I don't even understand what it is supposed to do.

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

I work with computers and a cable isn’t going to do anything. 1’s and 0’s are going to be the same 1’s and 0’s on the other end. If they aren’t then you dont get a correct signal and are dealing with other problems. These fancy cables dont “massage” the 1’s and 0’s to make them sound better.
