SR Foundation XL Ethernet Cable

WHAT IT IS:

Synergistic Research calls the Foundation XL Ethernet a scaled-down distillation of its flagship SRX XL, handmade in California with the same core technologies. SR says the Foundation XL series has the highest performance-to-price ratio of any cable it has made. Two Foundation XL Ethernet cables come free with the SR Router + Switch bundle.

HOW IT WORKS:

According to Synergistic Research:

• SRX XL Matrix Shielding: the same SRX XL UEF compound, applied to lower the noise floor without constraining dynamics or transparency.
• SRX XL High Voltage Conditioning: the identical long-duration process used on SRX XL, for dimensionality, tonal accuracy and refined highs.
• Mk II UEF CAT 7 conductors.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Conductors: 8 x UEF CAT 7 Mk II, 23 gauge solid copper
• Geometry: 4 twisted pairs
• Dielectric: solid polyethylene
• Maximum frequency: 500 MHz
• Shielding: silver Mylar with Quantum Tunneled Ground Plane, SRX XL Matrix Shielding with UEF coating and graphene
• Termination: 16 hand-crimped point-to-point connections
• Treatment: SRX XL High Voltage Conditioning
• Lengths: 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 meters
