RE: Ethernet to optical isolation converter questions. Help please

Hi.

The easiest and best way for all this IMO is to

1. buy a cheap wireless bridge/repeater - best isolation is air, isn't it !?!?
2. buy a 5V iFi iPower to power it @ pretty low noise
3. build your own 20-inch no-shield cable - blue and brown pairs are taken/cut out !!! - to connect your client to the repeater

That'll be it.

That's usually much cheaper and much less hassle than any optical solution and from a performance perspective IMO at least as good as anything else out there.
If you'd buy Telegaertner plugs you'll end up at around 100 bucks for
that solution. It think that's OK.


There's one issue though:
Usually above solution will work quite well if you stream audio only.
If you also run video streams, above is not the best solution.
Video usually won't do well over Wifi. That's why I run a separate
line for the video streaming.


Enjoy.
