you can discuss all the tweaks and bizarro stuff here. 

 

Uh oh, first batch is out and here we go!! 👍😁 
 

DC cables

ethernet cables

fiber optic SFP’s

fiber optic cables

EMI absorption and shielding

PSU’s

vibration management
master clocks

double, triple chaining ER’s

If I remember correctly Emile recommends a long fiber (10m or so) for use with those 80km SFPs (because of their high transmit strength). Also his recommendations are for use with the Taiko server but of course it could be a good match here as well.

Found the relevant posts on the FMCs, SFPs and OS2 fiber cable:

What is OS2 fiber cable ? 

A link to what to purchase ? 

it’s all there in the posts I linked to...

@octaviars Yes, that makes sense. 😀 Not sure why Emile recommended that >10m length.

@Lucie, could you (just for reference and to satisfy my curiosity ) mention the type of SBooster you’ve used? Was it the latest BOTW P&P Eco MKII or an earlier version?

The model is: BOTW P&P ECO 12-13.2V. No extra SBooster Ultra connected. I think it’s not the last model. I bought it new about 2 years ago.

Thanks Lucie! This indeed is the previous model, or the MK I so to speak. I was just curious, I do own one MK II but am using it on a JCAT NET card, my ER is powered by a Hynes SR4.

 

Enjoy!

Wasn’t there a comment from Alex that the case acts as a heatsink? 

It’s in the manual and it was repeated elsewhere as well.

 

The manual bit:

 

Locating the EtherREGEN:
During use, it is normal for the case of the EtherREGEN to become somewhat hot. 48~52C (118~126F), depending on room air temperature is to be expected. Do not be concerned about the heat. Even when hot, all parts are operating at less than half their thermal ratings. The case is the heat-sink. Please locate the EtherREGEN on a shelf where air can flow under and around it. If the heat of the case bothers you, standing it on edge will permit more airflow and will lower the case temperature by a few degrees. Do not stack other devices under or on top of the EtherREGEN.

I spoke with 3 different dealers in Europe (Slovakia,  UK and Belgium) and Mattijs from Farad in the Netherlands. 

They boths confirmed that the 2+1 promotion is not available in Europe. 

OK, that’s weird. The dutch importer, who also sells directly, does have the 2+1 promotion. See link above.
