Built with Solid Long-Grain Copper and 100% shielded gold-plated connectors, AudioQuest's CAT6 Pearl allows 10G ethernet over up to 55 metres. This cable delivers excellent performance for streaming audio or video, and as always provides a more reliable connection than wi-fi.

What AudioQuest say

Over the past several years there’s been a revolution in the way people store, distribute, and access digital media (in real time), including photos, movies, and, of course, music. No longer dependent on physical media, our media is often data that’s moved from multiple devices to multiple locations.For audio applications and protocols, audio over Ethernet offers the virtues of high-speed, low time delay (latency), significant distance capability (1000 feet without an active booster or repeater), and extremely low-jitter, bit-perfect communication. Who wouldn't want all of these things?

 

Features :

  • Solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) Conductors
  • Solid High-Density Polyethylene Insulation
  • Gold-Plated Terminations
  • High-Speed Data Capacity
  • Directionality

 

Solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) Conductors :

Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid long-grain copper conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications, like Ethernet audio. These signals, being such a high frequency travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor. As the surface is made of high-purity silver, the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable, but priced much closer to solid copper cable. This is an incredibly cost effective way of manufacturing very high quality Ethernet cables.

 

Solid High-Density Polyethylene Insulation :

Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then later released as distortion. Solid High-Density Polyethylene Insulation ensures critical signal-pair geometry while minimizing insulation-induced phase distortion.

 

Gold-Plated Terminations :

Gold-plated nickel connectors with 100% shield coverage.

 

Directionality :

All audio cables are directional. The correct direction is determined by listening to every batch of metal conductors used in every AudioQuest audio cable. Arrows are clearly marked on the connectors to ensure superior sound quality. For best results have the arrow pointing in the direction of the flow of music. For example, NAS to Router, Router to Network Player.

 

Specification :

  • Metal: Solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) Conductors
  • Dielectric: Solid High-Density Polyethylene
  • Termination: Gold-Plated Nickel connectors with 100% shield coverage
  • Jacket Colour: CMG (CL3 & FT4) rated White/Black stripe PVC

 

About AudioQuest

AudioQuest has been the largest cable supplier to the high-end specialist market for many years. AudioQuest is sold in several hundred outlets in the US and in over sixty countries. Bill Lowe (Founder) is especially pleased that this success has been possible despite his insistence that the foundation of the company, and the foundation of AudioQuest marketing, must be the performance of the product. In the audio world, many professionals have learned that it is not always convenient to listen to the products they sell … they might learn something they don’t want to know! Bill has always understood the challenge of basing the existence of AudioQuest on the performance of the product. However, to Bill, this is the only reasonable way to do business and the only acceptable way to combine his passion for music (and all things high performance), with his need to make a living.

Specification :

Good quality cat 6 ethernet cable.
3 Oct 2024
This is a very capable cable for audio streaming, and most importantly, it's custom-made to the right length. I don't want too much spare cable left over, and it's a right faff putting those plugs on a stiff ethernet cable.

Excellent service, and the cable was well packaged and delivered promptly. 10/10

This cable is a clear step up in performance over the basic unbranded cables.

It is a very reasonable price for a quality cable brand.

There was a noticeable improvement in sound quality when I replaced my basic ethernet cables with these for HiFi music streaming.

I played the same piece of music before and after I replaced the two standard 0.5m CAT6 cables running from my switch to my Roon media server and to my NAS containing the music files. There was a noticeable improvement, with the instruments more distinct and a cleaner soundstage. This cable is definitely worth the money.

Should try this non-fully-shielded cable!
9 Oct 2019
Verified Buyer
According to LINN Japan, the fully shielded Ethernet cable functions as a noise antenna, so the connector should be made of non-metal material. Following that advice, I changed all of the LINN SELEKT DSM cables from the much more expensive audio Ethernet cables to this. They were right. It sounded much better than ever. Great product!

Excellent ethernet cable which was vast improvement on unnamed cable.
The quality could be seen on opening and once connected up between my router and music streamer the difference in sound quality was very noticeable. I have 15m length.
The clarity was most noticeable but the sound was smooth and no doubt will improve further after running in over the next few weeks.
A great buy at a competitive price and delivered next day."
