@AfterDark.

Would you (or anyone else) happen to know price for this clock ?

It seems to be one of the best available in ULN version. 

About $900 each; minimum order 3 pieces; lead time 14 weeks.

You definitely do not want to know the price!

last night my Wyred 4 Sound PS-1 with 4 power rails came in via FedEx.

 

That's great. But just FYI, as with the UpTone JS-2, the Wyrd4Sound power supply has common -VE/0-volt "grounds" between all of it output rails.  One transformer secondary, one set of diodes for the whole supply--so shared "ground."

Not a big deal, just keep it in mind when using such supplies to power devices that are on opposite sides of an isolator (such as EtherREGEN A>B moat, or ISO REGEN).

What exactly is a “RJ45 SFP Optical Fiber Convertor” your selling ?

 

Is at a RJ45 meant for the SFP port ?

 

Hi Andreas:

As I said in the other thread, AfterDark is not promoting any RJ45 SFP modules! 

Their “RJ45 SFP Optical Fiber Convertor” is simply the FMC they source/rebrand/modify and sell for about US$80. See photos here:

This will likely be of some interest to folks following here:

Ha, be careful, the next EtherRegen will have built in OCXO 😃

Please don’t spread untrue rumors Andreas. There is not a “next” EtherREGEN in development at all at present.

You know that UpTone develops products slower than glaciers melt.  We are working on other things (not Ethernet related). 
EtherREGEN by itself is already fine, and adding a modest clock to it is nice for those who wish to do so.

If people wish to throw thousands of dollars/Euros at standard switch designs with OCXO and power supply built in, there seem to be more options for that every month.  (Frankly I think it is just a money-grab as nobody is showing much innovation in thier boxes...)

Based on Singxer SU-6 specs and configuration, there is a single 75 ohm BNC WCLK out on rear of unit. Therefore should one assume it is not possible to connect an After Dark 10 Mhz clock ( which can be done on Singxer SU-2) ?

That is correct Jeff.
