But in our opinion there are a lot more frequence on the power net. These is caused by the way we connect zero and protective ground together in the main central\/fuse boxes.Most things these days run on electricity. Current goes in and current goes out of devices and lighting fixtures of every kind. All of these make the current messy. Not least computers with their switched power units, chargers for e.g., mobile telephones, all the halogen and LED lighting, dimmers etc. all cause a great deal of high-frequency noise and stay voltages. This noise always seeks the easiest path to the earth. And since this can be everything from 50-60 Hz to very high-frequency, but weak, currents, it is not always certain that the path of least resistance is via the protective earth. These currents instead can find dishwashers, laundry machines, counter tops with water pipes, your HiFi rack and your stereo set with all the cables and devices as more attractive paths to the earth. Moreover, these stay voltages often generate very large magnetic fields that absolutely have influence on the sound reproduction. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" color=\"#000000\"\u003eOne big problem is that the protective ground many time are overloaded or not constructed for handle this pollutions. It can handle a real \"bang\" of 110-220Volt and X  Watts without any problems, but when it come to this small currents of some mV with very high frequency it don't catch them. So instead these will flow around in the power system searching for a place to ground. And in fact the protective ground can leak back a lot of pollutions to the power net that instead go to feed your HiFi system with all the cables and magnetic fields and load up and rest there in their search for ground.Our ground boxes \/ Eartha cables are designed to resemble and work like a bit of Mother Earth in concentrated form and offer the simplest and fastest route for this high-frequency noise to reach a earth point. Since such are very high-frequency weak currents, it is not necessary to have a lot of mass;  but it is important that the cables are optimised for these high frequency and the ground box be a purely attractive earth point.The construction and choice of materials in the earth box has a crucial effect on the result. In part, the minerals and metals involved have an effect, but the relationship of proportion and distance between them also affects the result.   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe EMI shielding material will be place inside the Telegartner MFP8 Plug\u003c\/strong\u003e, the high frequency and emi noise from the cable connector areas will absorb by the EMI shielding material made by KAMET Corporation.   \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarbon Fiber Woven material will use for outer layer.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThis material can provide protection and lower the emi noise  to get into the cable signal path. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/3117\/6822\/products\/Picture_1_2048x.jpg?v=1585726759\" title=\"Enlarge image\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Picture_1_2048x.jpg?v=1585726759\" width=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/3117\/6822\/products\/Picture_1_2048x.jpg?v=1585726759\" class=\"ipsImage_thumbnailed\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specification:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst Layer of aluminum foils for 4 pairs of AWG23 0.57mm core cables\u003c\/strong\u003e, each pairs was covered by layer of aluminum foils with providing 100 % coverage to eliminate the interference between each pairs of core cables.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuperior dual-layer isolation\u003c\/strong\u003e, 1st Layer of aluminum foils for High Frequency (HF) Effective shielding.

So, we can test the performance and sounding with the new motherboard and our Black River Network Cable to develop a new 2.5G NETone switch.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecial thanks we received requested from Audiophile for 2.5G generation switch, we have start the R\u0026amp;D on 2.5G switch with well know chipset provider to cope with future demands for Audiophiles. We have developed this switch with total bandwidth of 60G, to copes with 4 ports of 2.5G Lan ports + 10G native SFP port x 2. Very impressive performance with moderate heat with pressive heat sink on CPU, the NETone Quad Extreme only runs warm when it is full powered in the lab testing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe NETone Quad switch may be one of the best and very first 2.5G switch in the world to have Quad SFP+ x OCXO switches with external 10M Master Clock In build in. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe extra 2.5G speed is quite important for today application on the server and workstations, as we need the extra bandwidth for transfer 4K Video files, music files such as DSD, DSF, and streaming 4K Video from YouTube and Netflex. The switch performance is important and the file transfer time in 2.5G can achieve almost 4 times faster, exceeding 380MB\/s in average vs 100MB\/s from 1G. Due to more bandwidth, the music flow is much smoother and relax sounding when compared. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NETone Quad Extreme is suggested to connect directly to Audiophile music server, with the arrangement of cascade of quad switches, with cascade of quad optical isolation from SFP connections, all motherboard are optimised with Giesemann Clock Sync Module (GCSM). The NETone Cascade Extreme Quad Switch is tested on Karmann Music Server for a long time, and we managed to fine tune the sounds with some exotic capacitor and cable from Duelund, with more refine and lush sounding for Audiophile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" data-fileext=\"jpeg\" data-fileid=\"124130\" href=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/uploads\/monthly_2025_01\/image.jpeg.a202958f8cd568999d667cfdaf22413e.jpeg\" rel=\"\" data-fullurl=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/uploads\/monthly_2025_01\/image.jpeg.a202958f8cd568999d667cfdaf22413e.jpeg\" data-ipslightbox=\"\" data-ipslightbox-group=\"g60014\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"image.thumb.jpeg.62704dfc63e0597b01e5527b460a7755.jpeg\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" data-fileid=\"124130\" data-ratio=\"69.67\" width=\"900\" data-src=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/uploads\/monthly_2025_01\/image.thumb.jpeg.62704dfc63e0597b01e5527b460a7755.jpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/uploads\/monthly_2025_01\/image.thumb.jpeg.62704dfc63e0597b01e5527b460a7755.jpeg\" data-loaded=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe first developed testing unit for sound tuning with Cisco AOC Cable x 4 units - for optical isolation. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" data-fileext=\"png\" data-fileid=\"124133\" href=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/uploads\/monthly_2025_01\/image.png.f71592cfde9122c4a34fdfb60ded2c94.png\" rel=\"\" data-fullurl=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/uploads\/monthly_2025_01\/image.png.f71592cfde9122c4a34fdfb60ded2c94.png\" data-ipslightbox=\"\" data-ipslightbox-group=\"g60014\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"image.thumb.png.24aa521cce5ef00c75ec170bf1b320ad.png\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" data-fileid=\"124133\" data-ratio=\"23.33\" width=\"900\" data-src=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/uploads\/monthly_2025_01\/image.thumb.png.24aa521cce5ef00c75ec170bf1b320ad.png\" src=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/uploads\/monthly_2025_01\/image.thumb.png.24aa521cce5ef00c75ec170bf1b320ad.png\" data-loaded=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGiesemann Clock Sync Modules (GCSM) optimised 4 individual clock signals for quad motherboard. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" data-fileext=\"png\" data-fileid=\"124134\" href=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/uploads\/monthly_2025_01\/image.png.0e7e12baa96364f4dfd36a64d847fea5.png\" rel=\"\" data-fullurl=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/uploads\/monthly_2025_01\/image.png.0e7e12baa96364f4dfd36a64d847fea5.png\" data-ipslightbox=\"\" data-ipslightbox-group=\"g60014\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"image.thumb.png.c5e834b851cc9c72eba155e7da574186.png\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" data-fileid=\"124134\" data-ratio=\"22.22\" width=\"900\" data-src=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/uploads\/monthly_2025_01\/image.thumb.png.c5e834b851cc9c72eba155e7da574186.png\" src=\"https:\/\/audiophilestyle.com\/uploads\/monthly_2025_01\/image.thumb.png.c5e834b851cc9c72eba155e7da574186.png\" data-loaded=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e   AutoCAD drawing for draft outlook with 3mm carbon fiber backplates. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe concept of NETone Quad Switch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product will build in four separated motherboards of 2.5G switch.
