AQVox AQ-SWITCH-8

[Petter]

Sounds good - at least it's a bit more affordable (and realistically priced to what they cost to make).

But I'm a bit confused - I thought cat 6 or below was meant to be better for audio because you can get unshielded, which was supposed to be better for noise isolation (no shield 'wire' to travel along), whereas 7+ has to be shielded for the spec?

I'm definitely more inclined to try this. Although aqvox and sotm 'tune' theirs specifically for audio data - quite how I've no idea since I doubt you could tell what the data is while it's travelling along the cable. I might actually email one of them and ask.

And stop buying these Aqvox switches and writing about them everyone! I'm trying to save my money!!!


Supra Cat 8 is used advantageously in TCP/IP and UDP application where correct data information is critical, e.g. 4K and 8K video streaming, high quality music streaming, gaming, data centers and in-building installations. By upping the performance 4 times to 2000MHz you are more likely to have no incorrect data being sent or not being corrected by applications in time as there is much more bandwidth to work with. This can be very important to avoid for example video loss in streaming or avoiding stuttering in music streaming and voice communication.
