Supra Cables Ethernet Cat 8 8 meters

8 meters

If you're streaming audio through your network, this CAT 8 + RJ45 patch is an ABSOLUTE MUST: the cheapo cables you're probably using are producing way too much noise accurately to transmit digital audio signals. Did you know that such noise seriously degrades sound quality by introducing "jitter" - i.e., timing errors? Every two microseconds of jitter robs one of one bit of resolution - which, if you care about sound quality, will have you doing everything possible to eradicate noise in your digital-based system!

Too, one needs to be concerned about "cross-talk," wherein signal "jumps" to the adjacent leads - causing audible distortion in audio. And network transmission follows a "handshake" protocol (i.e., a confirmation between sender and receiver); if your network cable can't maintain strict signal integrity, transmission speed will diminish until transmission is achieved - causing the aforementioned timing errors so deleterious to audio signals. Furthermore, even in data-only applications, one can experience signal drop-outs from such a lack of signal integrity - completely unacceptable in "mission-critical" network applications.

The Supra CAT 8 achieves ultra-low noise and crosstalk via superior aluminum band and braid shielding (each pair of leads separately shielded, as well as altogether) and foamed PE jacketing. Just for chuckles, cut into your present network cable - and be horrified at what you see!
