It uses a new UEF compound in its matrix shielding and refined pure silver conductor geometries intended to maintain packet integrity and timing accuracy over longer cable runs. It's built on the same extended-duration high-voltage conditioning process as the rest of the SRX XL line, and is designed to pair with a network switch such as Synergistic Research's Ethernet Switch UEF Mk II. Its shield can be star-grounded to a Synergistic Research \u003ca href=\"\/products\/synergistic-research-ground-block\"\u003eGround Block\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/synergistic-research-active-ground-block-sx\"\u003eActive Ground Block\u003c\/a\u003e (sold separately) for a further reduction in noise floor. Owners with a complete loom of SRX series cables can trade in for up to 70% credit toward SRX XL through the Lifetime Passport Protection Program.
