{"product_id":"cad-ethernet-control-ground-noise-control-device","title":"CAD - Ethernet Control – Ground Noise Control Device","description":"\u003cp\u003eYour network cable carries more than music. It also carries high frequency noise from routers, switches and the rest of your network, straight into your streamer. The CAD (Computer Audio Design) Ethernet Control is a small, simple fix for that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt plugs between your Ethernet cable and your streamer, server or DAC. One end is an RJ45 socket for your network cable, the other a thick gold-plated RJ45 plug, so no extra cable is needed. Inside, custom CAD transformers give galvanic isolation and reduce noise on the Ethernet signals, signal ground and network interface across a wider range than standard Ethernet transformers. It works with streaming services and with locally stored files.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCAD recommends placing it at the final termination of the Ethernet cable as it enters your system, where it says it has the greatest effect. For further improvement, try a second one on the input or output of a network switch or router.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can also be used with analogue components, such as amplifiers, that have Ethernet connections for service, control or configuration. Check the manufacturer's manual first to make sure the RJ45 socket is Ethernet compatible. There's no need to power down when you fit it, although some streamers or servers may need a re-boot when the network is reconnected, and CAD notes that performance improves over the first 150 hours of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Reduces high frequency noise on the Ethernet connection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Proprietary CAD transformers with galvanic isolation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• No additional cable required\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Works with servers, streamers, DACs, switches and routers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Hand-made acrylic case with vibration damping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Hand assembled and individually tested in the UK\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Also suits amplifiers and other components with Ethernet service, control or configuration ports\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Fit or remove without powering down\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Connections: RJ45 socket (network cable in) and integrated ultra-thick gold-plated RJ45 plug (to component), designed to minimise impedance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Isolation: galvanic, via custom CAD transformers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Case: non-conductive acrylic, hand-made in the UK\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Cable: none supplied or required\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Installation: no need to power down; some streamers or servers may need a re-boot when the network is reconnected\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Running in: performance improves over the first 150 hours of use \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CAD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68343047782623,"sku":null,"price":1475.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/4078\/1914\/files\/cad-ethernet-control-side.jpg?v=1793330953","url":"https:\/\/www.hifi.co.nz\/products\/cad-ethernet-control-ground-noise-control-device","provider":"The Real Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
