The Pure Line RedCore Ethernet Cable CAT8 redefines digital connectivity with uncompromising materials and engineering precision.
Built with solid OCC copper conductors and CAT8-certified metal connectors with gold-plated pins, it delivers an ultra-stable, high-speed connection designed for both audiophile-grade streaming and professional data transmission.
Compared to traditional CAT7 cables, the RedCore CAT8 multiplies bandwidth from 600 MHz to 2000 MHz and boosts data transmission speed from 10 Gbps to 40 Gbps — ensuring faster response, lower latency, and superior signal integrity.
In high-end audio systems, this translates into lower jitter, reduced digital noise, and a more natural, transparent, and open soundstage.
Every aspect of the RedCore CAT8 is designed to eliminate signal loss and preserve timing accuracy.
The OCC solid-core copper conductors guarantee superior conductivity and low resistance, while the quad-shielded CAT8 architecture provides complete protection from electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference (EMI/RFI).
The metal-bodied connectors with gold-plated contacts ensure perfect electrical contact and mechanical stability — keeping your connection clean, consistent, and future-proof.
Externally, a dual-layer sleeve made from 50% cotton and 50% nylon minimizes vibration and mechanical noise, combining performance with refined aesthetics and durability.

RedCore CAT8 is most effective in the final links of your network chain, where noise and timing errors have the greatest sonic impact.
Recommended placements:
For best results, use RedCore CAT8 closest to your streamer or DAC.
This is not about louder detail or tonal coloration.
The system feels less “busy” and more coherent, especially in complex passages.
Yes. The cable is fully backward compatible with CAT7, CAT6, and CAT5e devices.
No. RedCore CAT8 is non-directional and can be installed in either orientation.
In high-resolution audio systems, network noise and timing stability can influence streamer and DAC performance. Reducing interference and jitter at the physical layer often results in a calmer, more coherent presentation.
No special burn-in is required. Performance stabilizes naturally with normal use.
Yes. Custom lengths can be made on request. Please contact us before ordering.
