SFP Transciver module for UpTone Audio EtherREGEN

[Martin Herløv Andersen]

In the excellent review on the UpTone Audio EtherREGEN by @austinpop he was using a Startech SFP 1000 ZX ST 1550nm/80km.

I found them on this site https://www.fs.com/de-en/products/11776.html

 

Have I chosen the right compatibility and transceiver type?

I think you might be better off going with 1000Base-LX instead of 1000Base-ZX.  I found the following SFP to sound better than the Startech SFPs mentioned above.  The Startech SFPs required use of attenuators and sounded somewhat mechanical even with them in place.

So maybe choose this one instead:

Thanks I take my hat off for you 🙂 You have compared different transceiver. But why not the are not expensive.

So which one do you have? The one in link #1 and you think the one in link #2 will sound the same?

Are some brands better? and what about cables. I need around 20m can I make them myself
