Are there better optical cages and optical interconnects than those sent with the Optical Module (OM)? 

 

I've taken the cage and wires from my OM and put them into the ER.

 

The interconnects are way too long and messy at the length they are sent. Will shorter or shorter/better help?

 

Thank you

 

if you're talking about the lengths of the optical cables, then length shouldn't matter.  you can get a shorter one or just loop it around in a circle and tie off.  just don't crush the optical cable.

What about cable length?  Is there reflectance at certain lengths ?

 

I purchased 2 short cables from Monoprice to try from the ER B side to my DS dac’s Bridge card.    I think I ordered half meter and full meter.

 

I want to burn them in a bit before trying.

 

I currently have the ER plugged into another circuit, rather than into one of the outlets in my Niagara 7000.  Perhaps I should try using with the Niagara.  I imagine it would improve the ER but wondering if the ER power supply will dump noise into the power conditioner, negating the benefit.  

 

The ER power supply is ground shunted so shouldn't dump noise back in.

I’ve got a 35 foot cat8 run from my Cisco switch to my EtherREGEN that I’d like to replace with a StarTech optical modules, optical cables, and the appropriate attenuators.  I would greatly appreciate it if you would please provide the parts numbers I need to replicate your build.

 

Thanks

Wayne

 

Look at post 298 in this thread.

Jud, what do you mean with the ER on its own?

 

he means without the cisco switch.
