SOtM sNH-10G - SOtM’s first network switch

[Roasty]

hi all

 

am considering the SNH-10G, and am new to fiber.

 

SOtM website says "You will need to use the converter and module for SFP connections with the sNH-10G, here you can use the single mode lc to lc duplex cables and these type of products...."

 

question: does it have to be a single mode type or can i use multimode transceivers and patch cable?

Hi Roasty,

 

maybe you’ve got yourself fixed up with SFPs etc but just to say I’m happily using multi mode TP Link gear with my SOtM switch. I didn’t see any specific guidance on the SOtM site about what format to use and there’s lot of discussion around about what’s best. I didn’t do any comparisons with single mode but the multi mode gear was cheap and easy for me to implement as a toe in the water.  For what it’s worth I’ve no regrets and there was a clear sound improvement. 
 

cheers and let us know how you get on

Hi Calum

 

I got in touch with May from SOtM and she suggested to stick with a single mode setup. So in the end, that's what I did, got some sfp modules and single mode cable and everything is working fine for me.

Do you also use an NAA?

 

Yes. Hqplayer NAA on sms-200ultra neo. My chain is:

 

Ethernet -> snh-10g -> fiber -> ER -> 200ultra neo -> txusbultra -> Singxer su-6

Any issues with HQPlayer pausing playback?

 

Not at rates up to 768pcm. 1.536 pcm my ER is the choke point. 

Otherwise no issues. Are u getting problems with the switch?

I am.  HQPlayer 4 playback pauses then starts, pauses, starts.  I've swapped out the switch for another and the issue goes away.

 

Hmm that's odd.. I assume you have tried everything ie rebooting everything, different ports, different hqplayer settings etc.. Hope u can get it sorted. Maybe contact sotm for ideas. Sorry man I'm of no help.

Hi guys, question to those who daisy chain SoTM switch with an Ether regen.

 

which one connects to your router? 
 

Router -> SoTM 10g -> etherregen -> renderer 

 

router -> etherregen-> SoTM -> renderer?

 

I have a fiber sfp module and I’ll be connecting the 2 switches using fiber . I’ve heard that the fiber in SoTM is not that great. Which makes me think I should go with option 2. If  thats the case, where should I connect my renderer on the SoTM  (which ports)? Ports closest to the fiber or farthest ?

 

 

 

 

 

I put the sotm switch before the ER, and use fiber between the two. Renderer to ER B side.
