AudioQuest Pearl RJ/E Ethernet Cable

 

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.

 

High-Speed Data Capacity :

The Cat 7 cable standard has been created to allow 10- Gigabit Ethernet over 100 m of copper cabling.

 

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 Black/White 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 :

  • 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 Black/White stripe PVC

I bought this cable to replace my faulty router cable from Talk-talk, who would not replace it. So I bought this cable got some advice from Hezron at future shop and advised me to use this .

My problems have now been resolved, working perfectly with faster speeds, no more hiccups, and brilliant customer service.

⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️WOW

I had so many issues with poor streaming online and the dreaded wheel of doom circling around…

I was very sceptical about spending so much money on an Ethernet cable, having tried many different options and nothing seemingly worked.

Now… picture and sound quality are superb, and no buffering issues. Highly recommend this product.

Great Quality Ethernet Cable
18 Feb 2022
Verified Buyer
I thought I'd buy this cable to see if an Ethernet cable can improve the sound quality of a Hi-Fi system, and I was very positively surprised!

I was using regular CAT6 cable to date, thinking it was good enough, but AQ Pearl Ethernet made the sound more alive.

I'm very pleased with this cable for the money, and maybe I'll try Cinnamon next as I've read good things about it.

Ordered over the phone, arrived very quickly. Purchased to replace a Belkin Cat5 cable. Cable and termination are of high quality. Immediately noticed video streaming services were loading quicker. 4k pictures look solid, sound has added scale. A no brainer for an AV setup.

Excellent quality and very good service from Future Shop
8 Jan 2021
Verified Buyer
Not about to get into the issue of whether or not an ethernet cable can make a sonic difference to sound quality but I am very satisfied with the pearl ethernet cable. Currently have one cable from router to iMac and one cable from router to Cambridge Audio CXN V2. Surprisingly my internet speed has jumped from 31.54 mb/s to 33.2 mb/s upon use of the pearl cable, switching back to previous ethernet cable supplied with the router drops my speed back down to mid 31 mb/s - that's a good enough reason to use the pearl for me.

Already using Audioquest Cinnamon USB from Mac to CXN V2 so I guess ill need to start saving to buy 2 pairs of AudioQuest Red River XLR cables for CXN V2 to KRK 10s subwoofer then to KRK G4 7 active speakers.

AudioQuest cables seem to hit that sweet spot of function, form and acceptable cost that gives genuine improvements.

Huge improvement over standard ethernet cable
3 Feb 2020
Verified Buyer
Huge improvement over standard ethernet cable. I wrote a query to Glyn at Future Shop about upgrading the main network cable from my router to a switch which supplies ethernet to Sky Q, Blu Ray player and Amazon 4K Fire Stick. Glyn recommended the AudioQuest Pearl. I ordered an 8m version and received it next day. Before removing skirting boards and lifting carpets I ran the cable straight from router to my ethernet switch and disconnected the standard PC ethernet cable.

After plugging in the Pearl cable the first thing I noticed on the ethernet switch was the status LED had changed from amber to flashing green, which signifies a higher speed connection. Pictures are more vibrant in colour and have much smoother motion, especially 4K content on the Amazon Fire Stick. Can't wait for the new F1 season on Sky F1 UHD to check out the improvement.

Worth installing
11 Jun 2019
Verified Buyer
Quite a difference to a £5 Ethernet cable. Scrolling pages is smoother with less frame sticking issues, depending how the signal is. Installed with the AQ Forest HDMI and the monitor screen is stabilized well with no fuzziness, much reduced eye fatigue. Initially not remarkable but allow time to settle in the system and the results are well worth the effort.

Super service from Future shop, prompt and reliable. Guaranteed to received your order in good time.

Audioquest Pearl Ethernet Cable
21 Apr 2018
Verified Buyer
Having spoken to Gary he recommended the Pearl which I needed to run from my router to my TP link network switch. Having added the incredible SOtM Cat 7 cable from my SOtM Ultra streamer into the TP Link switch for the money the Pearl is a steal.

Always a real pleasure dealing with Gary as he clearly knows his products & has a wide knowledge of all Hi Fi brands currently available which products to recommend.
Keep up the great work.

Ps. My new Gato PWR222’s are beyond words ?
