I am not certain that Transparent ethernet cables are used although the speaker cables may be ( as are other brands). In fact I am not even sure that Transparent make erthernet cables.
The third party equipment used in what is a distributor training room at the factory reflects the lines that are also typically handled by dCS’ worldwide distributors and provide familiarity.Although they are all of excellent quality they are not necessarily the optimum choice for every situation or customer. There is no universal “best”.

When i was there, same day as you.
They certainly had them as i looked and even have a picture, they certainly look like transparent used for both set ups.
Thanks. Rechecking Transparent’s website it seems to depend where you look for ethernet cables. Note the subject title. I originally referred to text entries where no ethernet option is mentioned at all but have now found a single ethernet line in their basic Harwired range but this is $40 for a basic length, not $400. It is a plain back sheathed cable.
Anyway the main point of my post is what dCS use is not necessarily what any customer may find is optimum given their preferences.AFAIK dCS offer alternative cable looms and what we saw was what they happened to have installed on that day.
As I think I have said before we have a “three of everything” (where everything is speakers, amps and cable looms) policy in the demo room. Three manufacturers gives us 95% coverage of our distributor base and always allows us to present dCS components in a familiar system context. Bear in mind that from a distributor’s perspective lines they don’t carry are “the competition” whereas from ours they are just “other manufacturers”.
It also helps that for this same reason they are the components that our products tend to be presented with at shows so we know them and the people that supply them well, know how to set them up quickly and get the best out of them, and whom to call for help if we run into problems.
But there is no runic significance in these choices. They are not the only choices, just a small subset of the possible choices that we happen to be very familiar with.
