Revelation Audio Labs Prophecy CAT8+/RJ-45 i2s, Ethernet Digital Link
With the advent of high end streaming services, there's been a vacuum on high end ethernet cables. Using a computer cable on your nice new device is a disservice. RAL is the one company that put in the time/R&D to come up with an audio grade solution. We've tested them and they are all they claim to be... -- True Audiophile quick review
Although our previous design is still widely considered the gold standard, this completely new re-designed version takes audio performance to a entirely new level. We call it "CAT8+" because our design actually dramatically exceeds the requirements of the current latest Category 7 specification, and even far exceeds the requirements of the proposed Category 8 specification. That’s why we call it CAT8+. Of course it supersedes yet is compatible with all legacy CAT5, CAT6 and CAT7 cable applications. Deep cryogenic treated 5N pure solid core CryoSilver™ conductors, Big Air™ dielectrics, Mil. Spec. shieldings (layered solid and braided OFC shielding methodologies), and more.
To achieve this, we have to do what absolutely no one else in the world is doing. As with all our cables, everything is done manually, completely by hand, involving numerous man hours of labor. To start, within the oversized American-made PTFE Teflon tube that forms each discreet air dielectric, each hand polished conductor is carefully slid in the interior by hand. Each of these tubes is then separately wrapped by hand with the shielding materials. These form the sub-assemblies that are then fabricated into the eight-pole next-level assembly. This is then installed into what will become the top-level Ceramic MicroSphere™ conduit, then next installed within the CCIC™ (Conductive Carbon Infused Composite) outer jacket. This process is the opposite of all other Ethernet cable wire assemblies we are aware of. They are all mass produced, machine made by the mile.
Finest ultra high quality premium German-made heavy cast solid metal shell connector. The connector is extremely effective at providing superior conductivity, outstanding shielding characteristics, while its high mass reduces the unwanted affects of vibration. It is extremely robust, rugged and well made for many years of trouble-free service, compared to the frail and delicate nature of typical RJ-45 connectors. The interior cavity of the heavy solid cast metal shell is potted by our injection process with an aerospace dielectric compound, augmenting the high mass, further reducing vibration and resonance, and increasing reliability through providing mechanical stress relief. The internal solderless terminations are treated with Walker Audio Extreme SST™ contact enhancer during cable fabrication. Ceramic MicroSphere™ conduit for dissipation of vibration and resonance. Anthony Perrotta of Perrotta Consulting, North American distributor for North Star Design, says our RJ-45 i2s Ethernet cable aptly outperforms the >$2K White Gold i2s cable commissioned by North Star Design.
