45. True Silver Series ~ RJ45 Ethernet Cable/RJ45 I2S Cable (OCC Silver)

Designed and handcrafted with multiple combinations of 5N OCC silver wire, carefully fine-tuned to achieve highest sound quality and minimize signal transmission loss.

Audiolund Ethernet Cable/RJ45 I2S Cable ~ True Silver Series
– Use 5N OCC silver cables made in Europe, specially selected and imported. Carefully shielded, twisted and assembled one cable by one cable
– Use multiple combinations 4*18GA 5N OCC silver wire in TP1/TP2 +/- with Duelund tinned copper 4*20GA cables on TP3/TP4 +/- pins
– Built with Cat8 Ethernet connector and verified with Cat8 same speed/spec with RJ45 T-568B Standard
– RJ45 100 Mb speed for the best audio quality and 1 Gb speed for PC connectivity, and other high-traffic-flow devices, such as the Roon Core processor. 1Gb speed needed for playing streaming music files from Tidal, Spotify, Qobuz, Apple music etc.
– It is an Ethernet cable/RJ45 I2S/IIS cable (built with RJ45 T-568B Standard), used to connect to Transport/DAC or Streamer/DAC, instead of SPDIF digital cable or AES balanced digital cable
– Use various types and multiple layers of shielding materials for shielding to reduce noise and RFI/EMI interference
– With unique damping design, use various types of anti-vibration/damping materials to suppress vibration and isolation
– 1.0m standard length with other length options

Standard version: 4 OCC Silver + 4 Duelund cables

– Use multiple combinations 4*18GA 5N OCC silver wires in TP1/TP2 +/- with Duelund tinned copper 4* 20GA wires on TP3/TP4 +/- pins.

Special version: 8 OCC Silver cables

– Use All Silver wires for All pins. Use 8*18GA 5N OCC silver wires in TP1/TP2 +/- and TP3/TP4 +/- pins.

RJ45 I2S/IIS Cable:

If you want to use this RJ45 Ethernet Cable as a RJ45 I2S Cable, it is constructed as per Standard RJ45 T-568B Standard. For special I2S pinout configuration built with non T-4568B standard, please contact us.

• For Special RJ45 I2S cable, please provide I2S pinouts of your equipment and direction of cable.

• For Special RJ45 I2S cable, due to complexity of I2S pinouts, will use default Linkway RJ45 Cat 8.0 plug only.

What is the difference between LVDS and CMOS? (From Internet)
LVDS has the advantage over CMOS due to the lower signal swings and differential signaling. The LVDS output driver does not have to drive such a large signal to many different outputs and does not draw a large amount of current from the power supply when switching logic states, as the CMOS driver would. For I2S RJ45 single ended, LVDS will not work.

RJ45 Ethernet specifications to use wires between 22 AWG to 28 AWG wires. The True Silver series RJ45 Ethernet uses 18AWG wires, exceed the spec limit for Ethernet cable. It is OK for audio device application for best sounds, however, it is not recommended to use it on other non audio application.

The Ethernet Cable/RJ45 Cable True Silver Series define the new class for pure silver with distinct silky beautiful sound. It is specially built with imported 5N OCC silver wires on RJ45 key pinouts. The Ethernet Cable/RJ45 Cable True Silver Series set a new standard for another category of the pure silver modern sound.

On the digital front end, Ethernet Cable/RJ45 Cable True Silver Series performs exceptionally well, well beyond expectations. True Silver Series Ethernet cable/RJ45 Cable has a sweet, delicate, powerful, fast dynamics sound and it also has a stronger tone, warmer with richer full body organic sound. This Ethernet Cable/RJ45 Cable True Silver Series could easily challenge all the high-end Ethernet Cable/RJ45 Cable in the audiophile markets.

RJ45 Ethernet Plugs Orientation

Audiolund cables are quite thick and stiff, although it could be bend easily, but could be hard to “twist” if the orientation of the plugs is not aligned properly. The standard orientation for RJ45 plug is as above, however, it is also depending on how you place your equipment, Top to Down, Left to Right or Right to Left ?
Please provide a picture of your equipment, looking from the back, to show the RJ45 Ethernet connectors.

Cable Run-In: Audiolund cables are mostly multi-core design with various combinations of wires. Thus, all Audiolund cables will require long time to run-in.  OCC Silver wires are thick solid core wires, will take even longer time to burn-in than Duelund tinned copper multi-strands of parallel thin core wires. The general guideline for run-in time, estimated 100 – 200 hours.
