Ethet net to fiber optic to feed your streamer


I'm using a TP link Deco wireless mesh system to feed my streamer.  I wanted to add a Fiber Optic Cable Cord section to hopefully clean up any "hash" caused by my mesh system. 

I was inspired by "Gabby" from youtube - https://youtu.be/ybtRqJt8Vo8?si=6kKCOU_W7iuS_Gaj

I was thinking about getting two Fiber to Ethernet Media Converters but have also looked at the Sonore opticalModule Deluxe.  I know this is a pretty niche subject and there are probably not many people who have these devises, but if anyone does, I'd love to hear your experience and thought.

Thanks - Stan

"I think your idea to place fiber between the wireless router and streamer is good."

I agree and use fiber to optically isolate my server and my streamer, both of which are connected to my network through a switch.  I optically isolate the server from the switch and router with two typical fiber converters, both powered by linear 5V supplies, and isolate the streamer by 15M of fiber optic cable from the SFP in the switch to the input of my streamer, which accepts a fiber optic input.  Finisar SFP modules are used in both the switch and the streamer. 

Cat 8 and SFP is the way to go. I recommend Ampcom Cat 8 cables with their superbly made tooless RJ45 plugs and SFP modules.

Look into AOCs (Active Optical Cables) for cost-effective fiber runs. The GBICs are manufactured and tested together with the fiber as one inseparable unit. I run them from my copper switch directly into my Lumin U2. Lumin connected to MSB DAC over MSB ProUsb which is USB > Fiber > DAC where I also use an AOC.

I recently tried FS AOC's and for me they are a way superior to Ethernet and all the SFP/fiber I have tried.  No more SFP or fiber dilemma.  I also use AOC's before and after my Streamer.  See the MSB thread on WBF.
