Melco C100 Audio Ethernet Cable
The new C100 Ethernet cable directly replaces Melco’s debut Ethernet cable, the C1AE, with a number of noise reduction upgrades and improved networked audio sound quality. The C100 provides the very best quality cabling solution for Melco libraries and other Ethernet audio-enabled devices.
The C100 has been carefully tested and matched with all Melco libraries to ensure no loss of quality. It also benefits from asymmetric drain wire grounding, where one end of the cable features a ground point. Unwanted noise, either external or from connected devices, travels in one direction to the ground end, not interfering with delicate signal transmission.
The opposite (non-grounded) end of the cable features an innovative ‘floating’ shield, which is not attached to the connector plug, meaning unwanted noise cannot transfer to connected audio devices downstream.
Further benefits include gold-plated connectors, a smooth cable outer to avoid tangling, plus a double shield for additional protection. The C100’s conductor thickness has also been improved over its predecessor.
Specification
- Wide bandwidth construction rated at 600 MHz
- Asymmetric drain wire grounding (ground at one end)
- Innovative ‘floating’ shield at the opposite end
- Gold-plated connectors
- Precision 100 ohm-accurate and rigid mechanical alignment connectors. Ensures stable performance without the possibility of mechanical misalignment. Unbreakable latch for precise alignment.
- Individual screening of each data pair
- Double screening overall
- Lengths include: 1 m, 2 m, 3 m, 5 m and 10 m
- The C100 has a wideband transmission speed, 6 times that of CAT 5e, 2.4 times of CAT6

A no nonsense quality cable
Phill
6 Sep 2024
The Melco C100 is one of the very few cables that is properly shielded, and Melco understands the need not to transmit RFI along a shield from one component to another.
I highly recommend the faultless service from Futureshop.

The quality of this cable, the grounded shield at one end, and the price make this a no-brainer.
You can't go wrong if you are serious about mitigating noise in your network, coupled with Future Shops' quality service.

Excellent upgrade

We decided to upgrade from generic cables to the Melco C100 ethernet cables. We were extremely pleased with the effect.
I know this is a thorny subject, but to our ears, the sound is appreciably better - clearer certainly, more detailed, quieter background, and, all in all, a big jump in performance.
We are very happy indeed.
