With the Heimdall 2 Ethernet cable, hi-fi enthusiasts can integrate Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices and music streaming into their hi-fi systems while simultaneously improving sound quality. Nordost has developed a unique design that allows its cable to exceed industry standards. The Heimdall 2 Ethernet cable consists of eight 23 AWG polymer-insulated conductors, arranged in four individually shielded twisted pairs, which are then wrapped in a braided, silver-plated copper shield and surrounded by a high-density polymer insulation. This fully shielded cable construction virtually eliminates the crosstalk and electromagnetic interference (EMI) that have always plagued previous network cables.

To further enhance the performance of its new Ethernet cable, Nordost has implemented mechanical tuning to reduce internal microphonics and high-frequency resonances. Precision cutting of each conductor also ensures the uniform arrival of all signals, drastically reducing timing errors. The resulting cable can support frequencies of 1000 MHz and transmission speeds of up to 40 Gbps, providing far more bandwidth than is required for today's typical data demands. To complete its superior build, the Heimdall 2 Ethernet cable is terminated with a fully shielded, rugged 8P8C/RJ45 connector that provides even greater resistance to EMI and electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Each cable is manufactured with the manufacturing quality, precision, and consistency required to ensure a guaranteed improvement over standard, low-precision, mass-produced Ethernet cables.
