Since signal transfer is so sensitive to vibration on SFP module, vibration countermeasures are most effective to reduce jitter and improve sound quality.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Amphenol DAC SFP Direct Attached Cable (DAC) Lan cable,  is well known and developed specifically for audio, taking a different approach from SFP optical cables which are \"expected to cut noise from upstream\" by focusing on the diversity of SFP. The Amphenol uses exotic copper wires for connection, and is designed to \"connect SFP-compatible audio devices.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ADS1 DAC Cable will improve the texture and details of the music and we like the dynamic and very natural and refined sounding. The improvements with Amphenol is immediately noticable during our listening experience when we develop this product , we recommended to mix with the use of Finisar SFP optical fiber to achieve the optimal sounding. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Direct Attached Cable (DAC) is good for Audiophiles?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA standard RJ45 cable comprises twisted pairs of cables that are accessed by a Bus interface called the PHY (Physical Layer). This is robust and reliable but not optimal for audio use. Twisted pairs are subject to impedance mismatch, speed restriction, pulse infidelity, crosstalk and external interference, all of which can be minimised by good engineering but not entirely negated.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTh SFP Direct Attached Cable on the other hand, is constructed and designed to build with tighly controlled impedance, tested to manufacturing at 100 Ohms, without any impedance mismatch. As a result, the sound is much more natural and music is more musical.

The copper conductors is braided shielded twisted and each pair is individually screened and the entire cable is constructed with exacting precision to ensure that the technical benefits of the design are achieved in reality. This makes the IX2000 SFP Lan cable with much higher bandwidth 14Gbps vs 10Gbps.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe benefits of improving the data integrity (often referred to as the ‘eye pattern’) is that the demands placed on the decoding hardware are reduced as less reinterpretation and reconstruction work is required, yielding further sound benefits in overall audio quality. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DAC cable is \u003cspan\u003edesigned to reflect the requirements of transmitting digital audio where stability and minimising errors are more important than out and out transmission rates.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe cable is used between AfterDark.
