    However would require other material such as graphite added to be partially effective as a conductor, with then shielding as perhaps one flamboyant use

    Mylar on its own is a excellent electrical insulator, which unfortunately does not have properties as a electromagnetic shield https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_shielding

    Yes, but the mylar used for shielding has a thin aluminum alloy metalized layer that acts as a shield.
    I think we are debating semantics.

    Hi Gran, would you recommend this cable to connect from router to a streamer?

    Thanks Jimbo. I have been looking at the Chord and QED stuff but this is a fraction of the price so will give it a go.

    I have been in a similar discussion, it's not semantics.

    Mylar is a film and non-conductive, Aluminium is a foil and conductive. So the shield is the aluminium and conductive, the Mylar film is acting as a supporting carrier.

    Thumbs up Supra is positively SUPA!

    This is the best ethernet cable I've used at reasonable cost: https://www.futureshop.co.uk/supra-c...ethernet-cable

    It significantly improved both the sonic performance and stability of my music streaming, over the 'bog standard' CAT6 cable I was using previously. Never misses a beat. Highly recommended!

    I believe cat8 has all strands of the cable individually shielded?

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
