The video discusses the challenges and limitations of using long stable AES50 cables. The speaker highlights issues such as pops and drops that can occur with AES50 and the vulnerability of the protocol to electrostatic discharge. Shielded cables are recommended to minimize these issues, but stability is not guaranteed. The video explores alternative solutions like the Klark Teknik DN 9620 for conversion to fiber and longer cable lengths. The speaker expresses frustration with the limitations and proposes testing AES50 cables beyond their maximum capacity to gain confidence in their reliability. They demonstrate successful audio transmission using a shielded Cat5e cable, indicating the possibility of extending the connection beyond the recommended distance. The importance of understanding cable limits and finding a buffer zone for reliable performance is emphasized. The video also mentions a stable 100-meter cable developed and seeks feedback on releasing it as a product.
