Synergistic Research Foundation SX Ethernet Cable

While Ethernet cables transmit digital data, they can also carry high-frequency noise from network components into your audio system. The Foundation SX is designed to minimize this noise and improve signal integrity, which helps your DAC process a cleaner signal for better sound quality.

This is a proprietary conditioning technique used by Synergistic Research to treat the cable's conductors. It essentially 'breaks in' the cable at a molecular level, which helps to increase resolution and clarity right out of the box.

Yes, it is fully compatible with any standard Ethernet port found on routers, switches, streamers, and DACs. It functions exactly like a standard Ethernet cable but with specialized construction for audio applications.

In audiophile terms, this refers to the cable's ability to preserve spatial cues and depth in a recording. By lowering the noise floor, the cable allows for a more precise soundstage where instruments and vocals feel more distinct and physically placed in the room.

The UEF compound is integrated into the cable's construction rather than being a bulky external component. Consequently, the cable remains flexible and easy to route behind your audio rack or through cable management systems.
