Product Description
Atlas Hyper Streaming Ethernet cable is a wide bandwidth solid-core cable developed for use with high performance streaming audio applications. Enhanced with OFC conductors, providing a consistent audio signal transmission with minimised noise.
What issues do Ethernet cables suffer from?
Specifications for Ethernet cables cover packet switching, timing, error correction and end-to-end transmission however just like any audio cable, there are variables that may degrade the sound quality such as the connectors, materials, termination and construction of a cable.
Basic 'ebay-style' stranded Ethernet cables that are often unshielded can have that grainy, harsh sound in hi-fi applications. They can suffer from high levels of background 'noise' resulting in a compromised, often unpredictable performance.
Solid Core Conductors
Atlas Hyper streaming cable uses solid-core conductors constructed using high purity OFC (Oxygen Free Copper). The conductors are twisted in a pair shielded by an extremely stable PEF dielectric material with poly-carbonate shielded plugs that work particularly well at minimising any unwanted noise, signal errors and interference. The less errors the circuity has to correct means the less work the device has to do, because more errors often leads to more unwanted noise.
