Crystal Cable
Monet Network-100
(Made In Netherlands)
(Pre-Order)

The Monet Network Cable is optimized for digital audio streaming, using materials and geometry normally reserved for analog signal cables. Its dual twisted-pair construction, paired with HF foil and silver-plated copper shielding, ensures data arrives clean, fast, and without jitter.

Unlike conventional CAT cables, Monet preserves the timing, clarity, and atmosphere of streamed music. The result is better imaging, realism, and musical flow – even from networked sources.

Crafted as part of the prestigious Art Series, the Monet Network Cable is engineered for audiophile-grade streaming. With dual twisted-pair Infinite Crystal Silver (iCS) conductors, HF foil and silver-plated copper shielding, it guarantees fast, stable and interference-free data transfer up to 100Mbps.
Fully shielded RJ-45 terminations ensure quiet, uninterrupted playback for digital music sources – preserving detail, dynamics, and space.

Specification …..
Conductor : Infinite Crystal Silver
Insulation : PTFE
Shields : HF Foil, Silver-plated copper
Construction : 2 twisted pairs

It is the entry-level network cable in Crystal Cable’s flagship Art Series. It is designed specifically for audiophile streaming applications and uses Infinite Crystal Silver (iCS) conductors rather than the SG² Silver-Gold conductors used in the Diamond Series.

Specification Monet Network-100 …..
-Conductor : Infinite Crystal Silver (iCS)
-Insulation : PTFE
-Shielding : HF Foil + Silver-Plated Copper
-Construction : 2 Twisted Pairs
-Connector : Shielded RJ-45
– Maximum Speed : 100 Mbps (100BASE-TX)

Why Only 100 Mbps?
Unlike conventional Gigabit Ethernet cables, the Monet Network is intentionally designed around the 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps) standard. Crystal Cable’s philosophy is that for audio streaming, maintaining signal integrity and minimizing noise can be more important than maximizing bandwidth. Even 100 Mbps is sufficient for extremely high-resolution audio streaming.

Sound Character
Compared with the Ultra² Diamond Network-100, the Monet typically offers:
✅ Lower noise floor
✅ Greater image depth
✅ Better spatial layering
✅ More natural tonal textures
✅ Improved micro-detail retrieval
✅ Enhanced musical flow
✅ Greater sense of realism and ambience

These qualities are commonly associated with the Art Series’ Infinite Crystal Silver conductor technology.

The Monet Network is ideal between:
Router → Streamer
Audiophile Switch → Streamer
Music Server → Network Switch
NAS → Streamer

Among Crystal Cable network products, the Monet Network-100 is often where the benefits of the Art Series become clearly audible. Compared with the Ultra² Diamond Network, it generally sounds more refined, more spacious, and more natural.

the Monet Network is often the point where network cabling starts contributing noticeably to soundstage depth, image solidity, and overall musical engagement.

For many reference-level streaming systems, the Monet Network-100 represents the sweet spot between performance and investment before moving into the even more ambitious Van Gogh and Da Vinci network cables.
