About the QED QE7809
From our tech experts at CEN
The QED Performance QE7809 is the longest Ethernet cable in the QED Performance range at 6m. It is designed for hi-res audio streaming, giving a stable wired network link to a streamer or network player when the router is some distance from the hi-fi.
Who it suits
Pick 6m when the router is on the other side of the room, in an alcove or by the window while the hi-fi sits elsewhere. If the router is closer, the 3m QE7807 or 1.5m QE7804 avoids surplus cable.
Our tech experts advise
Plan the route first: along skirting, round door frames or under carpet edges, never across a walkway where it can be tripped on. Keep bends gentle and do not crush the cable under furniture. If you need to connect several devices near the hi-fi, run this cable to a network switch there. Browse our QED collection.
