This is is a case of even though it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, it's still NOT a Duck
Meridian brand 2 different SPEAKERLINK Cables which just so happens to have a Construction identical to Shielded Ethernet cables with RJ45 connections.
These SpeakerLink cables are NOT promoted by Meridian as Ethernet cable... Russ Andrews says different of course... but then again, that is a whole different discussion regarding his methods and motives IMHO
SpeakerLink cables are used for the Balanced AES / EBU Digital Transmission of Data from e.g. a Source to Speakerlink DSP speakers.
Even though this is a potentially better transfer mechanism than SPDIF over Coax or Optical, as this is still a "One-Way" transmission... with NONE of the Error Correction or Packet Re-Transmission benefits which are described above.
Understand the confusion, but it's not promoted by Meridian for Ethernet use.
See how Meridian describe their SpeakerLink cable
here.
