MELCO C100 ETHERNET CABLE

The new Melco C100 directly replaces Melco’s debut Ethernet cable, the C1AE, and introduces a number of upgrades to reduce noise and improve networked audio sound quality.

The Melco C100 benefits from asymmetric drain wire grounding.

In this configuration, one end of the cable features a ground point. Unwanted noise, either external or from connected devices, travels in one direction to the ground end (indicated by a Melco logo on the connector plug), and will not interfere with the delicate signal transmission.

 

The opposite (non-grounded) end of the cable features a “floating” shield, which is not attached to the connector plug, meaning that unwanted noise cannot transfer to connected audio devices downstream.

 

Further benefits include gold-plated connectors, a smooth cable outer sleeve to avoid tangling, plus a double shield for additional protection. The C100’s conductor thickness has also been improved over its predecessor.

The C100 is a wide bandwidth design rated at 600 MHz :

6x the speed of Cat 5e, and 2.4x that of Cat 6.
