High-Speed Data Precision for Digital Audio Streaming | Available at Trimira Audio
The Nordost Blue Heaven Ethernet Cable is a high-performance network cable designed for digital audio systems incorporating NAS storage, music servers, network switches, and streaming components.
Using Nordost's low-mass conductor technology alongside a screened/shielded twisted-pair architecture, the Blue Heaven is engineered to maintain consistent high-frequency electrical characteristics while protecting network signals from external electromagnetic interference.
At Trimira Audio, we recommend the Blue Heaven Ethernet Cable for high-resolution network audio systems where carefully engineered network connectivity and robust shielding are desired.
Key Features & Technological Innovations
High-Purity Silver-Plated Solid-Core OFC
The cable uses 8 × 24 AWG solid-core conductors manufactured from high-purity OFC copper with silver plating.
The solid-core architecture maintains consistent conductor geometry throughout the cable.
Fully Shielded S/FTP Geometry
The cable employs individually shielded twisted pairs combined with an overall shield, providing protection against:
- Radio-frequency interference
- Electromagnetic interference
- Inter-pair crosstalk
- External electrical noise
High-Grade Extruded Polymer Insulation
The conductors use a low-loss polymer dielectric designed to maintain stable electrical characteristics at high network frequencies.
Factory-Terminated Shielded RJ45 Connectors
The cable is terminated with shielded, gold-plated RJ45 connectors incorporating strain relief and a snagless boot for reliable installation.
High-Speed Network Compatibility
The Blue Heaven is intended for high-speed Ethernet applications and is suitable for connections between:
- Network switches
- NAS drives
- Music servers
- Network streamers
- Digital audio components
