Reference CAT 8 Ethernet Cables

Design Challenges

Ethernet is a type of digital communication in which multiple devices are connected to the same network. Issues arise when two or more devices transmit data simultaneously, causing a collision. When a collision is detected, all devices wait for a random period before retransmitting data, which can result in gaps or interference in the audio output. These recovery methods are not ideal as they reduce the quality of the musical experience.

Additionally, many routers and switches use a floating ground. This can be easily identified by examining the power input, whether it's a wall wart or figure 8/infinity cable. It only has line and neutral conductors for power, missing the third leg for ground.

Solution

The XerXes Ethernet cable system addresses multiple concerns.

Firstly, the cable incorporates a directional ground network, allowing users to establish a singular point for signal ground using one or more Ethernet cables within the home or business wifi/ethernet network.

Secondly, an integrated noise dissipation system, denoted as RJ420, serves to diminish false collision detections.

Additionally, the cable exceeds Category 8 Ethernet standards, ensuring exceptional high-speed data transmissions and instilling confidence in its performance

These attributes culminate in a remarkably pliable, artisan-crafted network cable designed to satiate the desire for exquisitely reproduced streaming music.
