Audio-grade network cable
The biggest difference between audio-grade network cables and general standard network cables lies in their different purposes. The purpose of a general network cable is to achieve a standardized transmission speed under the premise of accurate data transmission, such as the so-called CAT-5, CAT-6, CAT-6e, CAT-7 or CAT-8 network cable, they must Only when the respective nominal transmission speeds are reached can the standards be met, and the words "CAT-x" can be printed on the wire body and packaging. But transmission speed is not the main evaluation criterion for audio-grade network cables, sound is. In fact, in terms of transmission speed alone, CAT-5e is sufficient for streaming music playback. Therefore, audio-grade network lines do not only require speed, but accurate and stable transmission, so that accurate sound can be obtained. Or seek changes in the timbre to bring out a flavorful and pleasing sound.
At present, there are three main network line definition standards, including the US standard TIA/EIA-568, the European standard EN-50173, and the International Standard Organization ISO/IEC 11801. There are also standards in China, which are called technical specifications for setting up telecommunications equipment inside and outside buildings CLE -EL 3600.
