AudioQuest - CAT700 Pearl - Bulk Network Cable (Spool)
AudioQuest's CAT700 Pearl Bulk Ethernet cables utilizes Solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) Conductors, which completely eliminate strand interaction, one of the biggest sources of distortion in cables, for clearer, more dynamic and involving sound. Superior conductor metals minimize distortion by having fewer grain boundaries and less impurities at those boundaries. Hard-Cell Foam insulation helps maintain critical signal-pair geometry.
Of course all AudioQuest CAT700 Pearl Bulk Ethernet cables are marked to indicate the directionality inherent in all analog and digital audio cables. AudioQuest's CAT700 Pearl Bulk PVC-Jacketed Ethernet cables are Riser-rated for in-wall installation.
Solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) allows a smoother and clearer sound than cables using regular OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity) copper. Solid conductors prevent strand interaction, a major source of distortion. The surface quality is critical because a conductor can be considered as a rail-guide for both the electric fields within a conductor, and for the magnetic fields outside the conductor. LGC has fewer oxides within the conducting material, less impurities, less grain boundaries, and definitively better performance.
Hard-Cell Foam (HCF) Insulation ensures critical signal-pair geometry. Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Hard-Cell Foam Insulation is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. Because nitrogen (like air) does not absorb energy and therefore does not release any energy from or into the conductor, distortion is reduced. In addition, the stiffness of the material allows the cable's conductors to maintain a stable relationship along the cable's full length, producing a stable impedance character and further minimizing distortion.
