Overview
Shielded Cat 8 network cable with a braided wire-mesh jacket that looks great and resists interference from nearby foxes and microwaves.
ChickenWire Cable is part of our Hardware & Devices line, and it pairs with EggCarton Array and Peckboard for a full-coop setup. Physical gear for people who need to peck at something real.
Every unit is tested by hand (and by wing) in our Haarlem lab before it ships. If it does not cluck at power-on, it does not leave the barn.

What the flock says
It is, in the words of our CFO, "fine, actually good". We have it on tape.
I have been pecking at software for 20 years and this is the first time it pecked back, helpfully.
The docs are shockingly good. We tested them by handing them to an intern.
Frequently asked questions
Does it ship worldwide?
We ship to 60 countries in an egg-carton box. Chicken-adjacent countries get free shipping. We define that generously.
What is in the box?
The device, a USB-C cable, a quick-start card, a sticker of a chicken in sunglasses, and a tiny scoop of recycled straw as packing material.
What does the warranty cover?
Manufacturing defects, accidental drops, and spills. It does not cover foxes, which we consider an act of nature.
