Anyone....

for the benefit of a Fibre newbie/numpty.

If I wanted to ‘dip my toes’ into fibre world, and purchased a Sonore Om, with the Planet Gbic’s mentioned, would a 1 metre single mode LC cable be suitable and within ‘spec’ to run into an EtheRegen? I am somewhat nervous of using cable designed for long distance operation ( with or without attenuators)

thanks for any guidance.

You could always buy a longer cable and keep it coiled.  Coiling a fiber cable actually causes attenuation.  Alternatively buy a pair of attenuators as they are cheap.  5 dB might be a good place to start.

Thanks for your answer, do I assume that a 1metre single mode cable would not be suitable/ recommended?

Duplex MM - multimode?

Given my extremely limited understanding, you wouldn’t need to ‘attenuate’.

How is your system sounding with the new fibre connection in place?

I am interested as it would be very similar to the set up I am trying to implement.
