Atlas Equator Streaming Enables Consistent High-Speed Digital Audio Transmission
Atlas Equator Streaming is a high-performance solid-core OFC interconnect cable, engineered to deliver consistent high-speed digital signal transmission for discerning streaming audio applications. Purpose-built for audiophile-grade network performance, this precision CAT6-compliant cable enhances clarity, dynamics and detail in high-resolution streaming setups.
Equator Streaming Optimises Signal Integrity Through Solid-Core Construction
Equator Streaming is a wide-bandwidth, solid-core unshielded Ethernet cable specifically optimised for audio streaming. Its high-purity solid-core oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors ensure stable, low-resistance pathways that preserve signal integrity across demanding digital networks. Atlas engineers selected PE (polyethylene) dielectric materials to support signal consistency by maintaining low capacitance and dielectric absorption, directly reducing signal jitter and digital timing errors.
Unlike mass-market stranded Ethernet patch cables, which often introduce audible graininess and digital harshness, the Atlas Equator Streaming cable avoids the shortcomings of poor construction. Conventional low-grade cables—particularly unshielded and stranded types—fail to deliver the precision timing and noise-free background required for high-fidelity streaming playback.
Solid-Core CAT6 Design Supports High Bandwidth with Minimal Data Loss
Equator Streaming cable supports up to 250 MHz bandwidth and adheres to ISO/TIA CAT6 standards, ensuring optimal performance within high-speed networks. Its 7.2 mm outer diameter, combined with a U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) construction, is carefully calibrated to minimise electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, critical factors in preventing digital artefacts and maintaining audio transparency.
Atlas applies their proprietary cold-weld termination process, eliminating solder-based joint degradation and ensuring long-term performance integrity. The use of polycarbonate shielded RJ45 connectors maintains a reliable, consistent physical interface while reducing impedance irregularities at termination points.
Atlas Cold-Weld Engineering Minimises Error Correction Noise
Equator Streaming cable reduces digital error rates at the point of transmission, which in turn lessens the workload of error correction circuitry in digital playback systems. High levels of correction can create additional processing noise, adding a metallic or fatiguing quality to the sound. By reducing the digital ‘workload,’ the cable allows the DAC or streamer to focus on data extraction rather than data repair—delivering a signal with lower jitter, greater dynamic accuracy, and a more lifelike presentation.
This refined approach to digital transmission draws on engineering principles and field experience acquired from Atlas’s acclaimed USB cable development programme. Atlas engineers have translated those insights into streaming Ethernet cables that align electrical characteristics with the auditory demands of high-resolution audio formats.
Eurobox Packaging Enhances Practicality and Presentation
Equator Streaming arrives in practical Eurobox packaging, ensuring ease of storage and safe transit. This attention to detail reflects Atlas Cables’ commitment to quality across every element of the product experience.
As part of the Atlas Essentials + performance tier, Equator Streaming integrates five core engineering principles that form the foundation of Atlas’s approach to signal fidelity: material purity, mechanical integrity, precision termination, low reactance geometry, and error minimisation.
For streaming enthusiasts upgrading from generic patch cables or system builders seeking a dependable link between streamer and router, Atlas Equator Streaming offers a tangible uplift in sonic transparency, timing precision and musical realism.
