Cardas Clear Network Cable

Unlike standard networking cables designed for general data throughput, this cable is specifically engineered for high-resolution audio streaming. It utilizes ultra-pure copper conductors and a sophisticated triple-layer shielding system to minimize electromagnetic interference and noise, which can negatively impact the signal integrity of sensitive audio components.

No, the Cardas Clear Network Cable does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE). It is designed exclusively for high-fidelity audio data transmission.

The use of eight 24 AWG solid core conductors helps maintain a consistent signal path and reduces internal reflections. This design choice is intended to preserve the timing and clarity of the digital audio signal, which is critical for high-resolution playback.

Yes, despite its robust triple-layer shielding, the cable is encased in an Alcryn Thermoplastic Rubber jacket. This material is chosen specifically for its flexibility and durability, making it easier to manage and route than many other high-performance shielded cables.

Audio systems are susceptible to high-frequency noise from routers, power supplies, and other household electronics. The combination of individual drain wires, foil shielding, and a secondary braided shield provides comprehensive protection against this noise, ensuring the cleanest possible signal path to your streamer or DAC.
