SOtM dCBL-CAT8M - Is this the new reference in LAN cables? @j_andrews Thanks for your post. Glad to hear you’re enjoying the improvements with iSO-CAT7.

SOtM dCBL-CAT8M - Is this the new reference in LAN cables? @lollipopguild My understanding was to use iSO-CAT7 between switch and streamer with your choice of (flavor) 50cm LAN pigtails for final tuning.
