The point is that I don't doubt that Cable Construction and Termination can make a difference when used as A SpeakerLink or Balanced AES Digital connection cable.

However, when the Audioquest Cat 7 cable is used purely as an Ethernet cable, then aside from RFI Shielding, it's very difficult if not impossible for one Ethernet cable to perform differently to another.

Analog, Coax and SpeakerLink cables can offer performance differences... But SHIELDED Ethernet cables will perform equally in all applications.

If they didn't, think of the Catastrophic consequences for the Nuclear, Banking, Financial and Healthcare industries... Where both the RECEIPT and the TIMING of that Receipt is FAR more critical than it is for music reproduction.
