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

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.
