Its eight 23 AWG solid-core copper conductors form four twisted pairs, each individually shielded and then wrapped in a fully shielded dual braid, which Nordost says all but eliminates the crosstalk and electromagnetic interference that afflict ordinary network cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eEach conductor is cut to a mechanically tuned length so that all signals arrive together, a Nordost practice that the company says reduces timing error. The cable is rated for 1000 MHz and transmission speeds to 40 Gbit\/s, well beyond what any audio stream needs, and is terminated with ruggedized, shielded 8P8C\/RJ45 plugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eIn a Pearl Audio system it typically runs from a Nordost QNET switch to a MOON, dCS or Aurender streamer.
