Detailed Description

Uncompromised Specification

The QED Reference Ethernet cable features a maximum data rate of 40 Gb/s, surpassing the requirements for handling today's high-resolution digital audio files and ensuring future-proof performance. Its state-of-the-art engineering makes it ideal for demanding data streams and high-resolution audio.

Minimizing Crosstalk and Insertion Loss

To keep signal noise and crosstalk at a minimum, the cable uses 99.999% oxygen-free copper twisted pairs with dissimilar twist rates for each pair, enhancing noise-rejection characteristics. The aluminium mylar wrap, foil wrap, and ferrite-impregnated jacket allow the cable to comfortably exceed CAT 8 standards for insertion loss and attenuation-to-crosstalk ratio, preventing data stream errors.

Reducing Return Loss

Precision-engineered, gold-plated Telegärtner plugs with 360-degree shielded die-cast zinc bodies minimize return loss, reducing signal reflections and ensuring that the full signal reaches the load. The pearl white PVC jacket adds a stylish finish to complement any hi-fi setup.

Use Cases

The QED Reference Ethernet cable is perfect for connecting Ethernet components, routers, network drives, and streamers to Ethernet devices, ensuring high-quality data transmission and stable connections.
