Strictly speaking, "digital" exists only in mathematics as a binary number system. In technical reality, there are no purely digital signals. To identify zeros and ones, electrical voltage thresholds and time windows are defined. When switching from zero to one or vice versa, the signal passes through all intermediate values — for example, from 0 volts to 5 volts. Capacitive loads, dielectric losses, noise, and electromagnetic interference caused by the cable additionally affect this transition. This results in timing deviations, known as jitter, which complicates the precise reconstruction of the audio signal.
The Reference CAT 8.1 cable is a LAN cable specifically designed for connecting high-end components in a home network. An additional shielding mesh, the so-called hyper-shield, protects the sensitive signals from electromagnetic interference. Furthermore, each data pair is individually shielded with an additional foil layer. This combination effectively reduces interference and supports streaming players and built-in digital-to-analog converters (DACs) in reproducing the audio signal with minimal loss and maximum precision.
This ensures that the Reference CAT 8.1 cable provides a stable and high-performance connection - ideal for demanding audio and video streams in a home network.

Information Product details Scope of delivery Downloads The Referenz CAT 7 cable is a LAN cable for high-end network connections. Thanks to the outstanding quality of manufacturing, it easily exceeds the specifications required by EN50288-4-2/IEC61156-6 (600 MHz) and reaches bandwidths of over 1200 MHz. It is therefore ideally suited for high-speed networks with transmission rates of 10 Gbps (10 Giga Bit per Second). One of the particular strengths of the Referenz CAT 7 cable is the exact compliance with the impedance of its data lines. This is the prerequisite for extremely low-loss HD audio and HD video streaming. This cable is also equipped with the tried-and-tested PE network jacket to prevent disruptive micro-vibrations. The high-quality Referenz CAT connectors round off the product perfectly.
