QED Performance Ethernet CAT 6 FTP network cable with 99.999% OFC conductors, shielded gold-plated RJ45 connectors and support for hi-res streaming up to DSD1024. Read more.
The QED Performance Ethernet is designed to provide a stable wired network connection between routers, network switches and music streamers. Built to the CAT 6 FTP specification, it combines 99.999% oxygen-free copper conductors with screened construction and gold-plated RJ45 connectors. Carefully controlled asymmetric twist rates and an internal HDPE spacer help reduce crosstalk and timing differences between conductor pairs. This makes Performance Ethernet an excellent choice for high-quality music streaming and modern hi-fi and AV installations.
