Reviews for AudioQuest CAT7 Pearl RJ/E Ethernet Cable Custom

Perfect cable for handling over 1Gig speeds.

Very pleased with the cable. A great quality product.

Very good cables to upgrade from CAT6.

I noticed the difference straight away. Speed and bandwidth increase.

This is the second time I have bought this cable from Future Shop, whose service is great, so that says something.

There’s nothing wrong with the cable sonically. I have previously routed the cable under the floor, so its short-comings were not apparent. This time I’m using it above ground, so its relative stiffness is very apparent, meaning routing around furniture, along skirting boards etc. is not so easy. Lots of shielding adds bulk and stiffness.

It’s a great cable, but drops a point for its seemingly unavoidable rigidity.

I got this to connect my BT WiFi Disc to my Bluesound Node 2i streamer.

I have the non-custom variant between my BT OND box and the Hub 2.

Despite having a WiFi link in the chain, this made a noticeable improvement in sound quality over a generic CAT5e and the BT CAT 6 cable.

In my quite resolving setup, there was a welcome sense of space, air and separation of instruments. Sounds such as distorted guitars, cellos, and pianos are more resolved with less dryness.

The custom cable is thicker and stiffer than my proprietary AQ Pearl, which is prone to linking, so I may upgrade that next!

I bought two x 2m of these ethernet cables to replace the generic cables connection between the BT hub and Sky Glass together with a Linn Exact music streamer. This solved the intermittent dropout (especially for Sky Glass) problems that we were experiencing and a quality AudioQuest product as expected (we have previously purchased the Cinnamon HDMI cables).

Excellent service ✨ from Futureshop, as always

I am surprised at the difference that replacing a Cat 5e cable, from a popular retail park electrical superstore, with an AudioQuest Cat7 Pearl RJ/E has made. I use this cable from the router to my streamer. I noticed a more cohesive rhythmic quality, improvements in low-level detail, and a better ability to follow individual instruments and voices. Backing vocals became more clear.

I think that this was a worthwhile improvement for a relatively low cost. I ordered the cable from the Futureshop on the weekend, and it arrived the following Tuesday morning. I am very satisfied.

I wanted to upgrade the CAT cable connected to the TV. Good cable and connectors, CAT7 probably over the top but future-proofed. I have found AudioQuest cables always good quality. Streaming quality improved.

Ugly casing but user friendly termination

Using the AudioQuest Cat7 lead as connection between a wired network (Cat5e) and a Raspberry PI based streamer and my Naim Supernait 2 based system and there is a noticeable improvement in sound quality. Also using the Cat6 AudioQuest cables between router and switch and switch and NAS and there is a very noticeable improvement over the old supplied leads in network data transmission speeds. When searching through photos on the NAS thumbnails used to take an age to generate and are now almost instantaneous! A very well made, robust product.
