Cardas Audio Clear Ethernet Cable

Standard Ethernet cables are designed for data integrity in IT environments, where error correction handles minor signal loss. The Cardas Clear Ethernet cable focuses on minimizing electrical noise and interference that can impact the timing and jitter of high-resolution audio streams, potentially resulting in a cleaner, more stable soundstage.

This cable uses 24 AWG ultra-pure copper solid core conductors and features dual-layer shielding—both individual pair shielding and an overall foil/braid shield. This design is specifically engineered to reject the electromagnetic interference that can degrade sensitive audio signals in a home network.

Yes, the cable utilizes high-quality Telegartner RJ45 connectors. These are widely regarded in the audiophile community for their precision fit and reliable, low-resistance connection, ensuring the cable stays securely seated in your streamer or network switch.

Yes, despite its robust shielding and high-purity copper conductors, the cable is encased in a flexible Thermoplastic Rubber jacket. It is designed to be manageable and easy to route, even in tight spaces behind equipment racks.

While it won't change the source file, a high-quality cable can reduce the noise floor of your digital signal path. Many listeners find that this leads to improved clarity, better separation of instruments, and a more natural musical presentation when streaming high-resolution audio.
