Ethernet cable for 10 thousand dollars for ... audiophiles

As you know, hi-end technology costs a lot of money. If we talk about devices for audiophiles, here the prices are extremely high. And all because the developers of such devices play on the feelings of music lovers, creating super- expensive super- quality audio cables with gold coating, glass speakers, “warm tube” amplifiers and all that jazz.

In some cases, the high cost of audiophile equipment is justified, but there are options where manufacturers simply deceive customers, trying to sell high prices that simply cannot cost such money. An example is an Ethernet cable for $ 10,000, just 12 meters long. In this cable, in particular, both connectors and wires are made of silver.

Why does a network cable cost so much? According to the developers, the high cost is due to the very high quality of the cable “sharpened” for sound transmission. The advantages of the cable are as follows:

• LED markers with indication of the correct connection direction. It is clear that many music lovers may simply be unaware that Ethernet cables are bidirectional;
• The cable is protected from interference, uses a special shielded coating;
• This cable has very high quality latches, with the result that the wire does not fall out of the connector at the wrong time;
• Shielded cable protection is protection against "slowing down parts of the signal, which causes problems with multi-octave audio."

In general, on the page describing the possibility of cable there are many such loud words and statements that sound very strange even for a user who cannot be called a geek.

Now the 12-meter version of the cable is no longer sold, but it is sold 3-meter , at a price of only $ 2,200. Suspiciously cheap, fake, I guess.
