LUNA CABLES ORANGE Series Neo Vintage Copper Conductor Ethernet Cable

Product Concept

With the spread of network players and streamers, Ethernet cables have become an important signal path alongside USB in digital audio. However, many commercially available LAN cables do not consider measures against vibration and noise for audio use, and high-frequency noise from network devices may affect sound quality.

The Luna Cables ORANGE Ethernet uses 8 twisted 22AWG LCNV (Luna Cable Neo Vintage) copper conductors hand-twisted by craftsmen to form pairs, adopting a tin-plated copper braid shield to block external noise. The connectors are modified Telegärtner RJ45 from Germany, known for high reliability in communication applications, and all contact points are hand-soldered. It is a cable that carries Luna Cables’ philosophy of natural materials from the very entrance of network audio.

Luna Cables: From Montreal, cables born from the hands of craftsmen

Luna Cables is a handmade audio cable brand based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. All products are produced in small quantities in a workshop, with each cable finished by the hands of craftsmen. The meticulous care and commitment to materials, not found in mass-produced products, support the musicality of Luna Cables.

■ LCNV Conductors (Luna Cable Neo Vintage): Unique conductors created by vintage processing machines

LCNV is an in-house copper conductor produced using Luna Cable's unique blend and proprietary manufacturing methods. Instead of using state-of-the-art CNC machines, we intentionally employ vintage wire processing machines, resulting in a conductor with a unique crystalline structure and flexibility that modern precision machinery cannot reproduce. This approach of leveraging the 'goodness of old things' in contemporary high-fidelity audio is at the core of the Luna sound.

■ Waxed Cottondielectric: Vibration damping and musicality provided by natural materials

LCNV also incorporates waxed cottondielectricIt is coated.dielectricThis term refers to the electrical properties of the insulating material that covers a conductor, and the lower the dielectric constant of the material, the less unnecessary interference there is on the signal waveform. Cotton soaked with wax has a lower dielectric constant compared to plastic materials, minimizing interference with the signal while also providing high vibration damping. It absorbs fine noise caused by external vibrations, enhancing the focus of the sound while delivering smooth and rich musical expression without a sense of pressure.

■ Hand-soldering all connections, uncompromising craftsmanship

All the cables from Luna Cables have each connection soldered by hand (All connections hand soldered). The precise quality of the contacts, which cannot be achieved by mass production with machines, directly contributes to the transparency of the signal and long-term reliability. This meticulous process, in which no effort is spared, is one of the reasons Luna Cables stands shoulder to shoulder with top audio brands.

■ Cotton Jacket: Unified Natural Materials from Inside to Outside

The exterior uses a cotton jacket that is flexible and easy to handle. It has moderate flexibility and sound absorption not found in synthetic resin tubes, suppressing unnecessary tension and vibration transmission during installation. Luna's philosophy of thoroughly unifying materials with natural substances from the inside out is also reflected here.

Main Features

• LCNV 1 × 22AWG (7 × 30AWG) / Polarity × 8, Hand-Twisted Pair Configuration:Using 8 LCNV conductors of 22AWG, each made by twisting together 7 strands of 30AWG tinned copper wire, artisans hand-twist them to form pairs. This manual twisting allows for fine tension adjustments not achievable by machines, contributing to noise resistance and signal stability.
• Waxed Cottondielectric：Low-dielectric waxed cotton covers each conductor, suppressing electrical interference between conductors. It supports the signal quality required for Ethernet transmission from a material perspective.
• Tin-plated copper braid shield:Blocks external electromagnetic noise and high-frequency noise from network equipment, protecting delicate digital signal paths.
• Telegärtner RJ45 connectors (modified and hand-soldered):Modified Telegärtner RJ45 connectors, a German manufacturer for communication infrastructure, are used. The connectors, which have high contact precision and durability, are further hand-soldered by craftsmen to maximize contact quality.
