Overview
Nordost Heimdall 2 Ethernet Cable – Norse 2 Series
The Nordost Heimdall 2 Ethernet Cable is a high-performance network cable engineered for premium digital audio and music-streaming systems. Designed for connecting network streamers, music servers, NAS devices, network switches, and other Ethernet-enabled HiFi components, Heimdall 2 combines extensive shielding with precision mechanical construction to maintain reliable, low-noise data transmission. (Nordost)
Heimdall 2 uses eight 23 AWG solid-core copper conductors arranged as four individually shielded twisted pairs. These are surrounded by braided silver-plated copper shielding and high-density polymer insulation. Nordost also mechanically tunes the cable length to reduce internal microphony and high-frequency resonance. (Nordost)
