RJ/E Diamond Cat 7 Ethernet cables are equipped with solid 100% Perfect-Surface Silver conductors, which effectively eliminate strand interaction, a major contributor to cable distortion. This results in clearer, more dynamic, and immersive sound quality. The use of superior conductor metals reduces distortion by minimizing grain boundaries and impurities like oxides. Additionally, solid High-Density Polyethylene (PE) insulation helps preserve critical signal-pair geometry.

All AudioQuest Ethernet cables adhere to the inherent directionality found in both analog and digital audio cables. Arrows on the jackets indicate the direction (from source to destination) for optimal audio performance.

In recent years, there has been a revolution in how people store, distribute, and access digital media, including photos, movies, and music, often in real time. With digital media no longer reliant on physical formats, data is frequently transferred between multiple devices and locations. Audio over Ethernet offers numerous advantages for audio applications and protocols, including high-speed transmission, low latency, extensive distance capability (up to 328 feet without a booster or repeater), and extremely low-jitter, bit-perfect communication. It’s hard to resist the appeal of these benefits.

SOLID PERFECT-SURFACE SILVER (PSS) CONDUCTORS
Solid conductors prevent electrical and magnetic strand-interaction. PSS Solid-Silver minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries and maximizes linear RF Noise-Dissipation.
CARBON-BASED 3-LAYER NOISE-DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS)
It’s easy to accomplish 100% shield coverage. Preventing captured Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment’s ground reference requires AQ’s Noise-Dissipation System (NDS). Traditional shield systems typically absorb and then drain noise/RF energy to component ground, modulating and distorting the critical “reference” ground plane, which in turn causes a distortion of the signal. NDS’s alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetics “shield the shield,” absorbing and reflecting most of this noise/RF energy before it reaches the layer attached to ground.
DIELECTRIC-BIAS SYSTEM WITH RADIO FREQUENCY TRAP
All insulation between two or more conductors is also a dielectric whose properties will affect the integrity of the signal. When the dielectric is unbiased, dielectric-involvement (absorption and non-linear release of energy) causes different amounts of time delay (phase shift) for different frequencies and energy levels, which is a real problem for very time-sensitive multi-octave audio. The inclusion of an RF Trap (developed for AudioQuest’s Niagara Series of power products), ensures that radio-frequency noise will not be induced into the signal conductors from the DBS field elements.
