Ethernet

I am adding a HiFi Rose RS 130 to my set up and need to split my ethernet cable run...  Here is my question:  I have about a 20' run into the splitter , then 2 x 3' runs to the RS130 and a BluSound Vault.  I have been using a $20 ethernet Cat 5 cable on the BluSound Vault alone.  I am seeing (typical) ethernet runs for $7,000 to $1.50.  Where do I go here?  Primary goal is to make sure all 3 runs are identical and really NOT thinking of spending a ton here.  Thoughts?  Cat 5...6...7...?

Help !!

Agree with many here that Blue Jeans would be more than fine for setting a baseline to start.

I'd then start trying different eth cables from the splitter to your streamer and vault.

I have a similar setup today:

Router > Switch > Streamer

I had all blue jeans, but now I only use blue jeans of about 12 feet from Router to Switch (LHY SW-6), and then a 1.5m Sablon eth cable to the streamer.  In my system, it's an upgrade in SQ.

The Avanti cable recommended by akg above looks compelling.  Give it a try.

Can you provide more details on what the "splitter" is?  Is it a switch or hub, or something else?
