I mainly spoke to her about my crazy journey with switches etc. May mentioned that they were doing research on routers, basically stuff upstream of a switch. They already provide mods for switches but she did hint at a product being made available in the future although at this stage no clear timetable. She knew this forum well! Hello, they are right! Unfortunately I could not find out about the price of the small model RE: "Audiophile Grade" Ethernet Switches - The new generation - GuillaumeB - 13-May-2019 (13-May-2019, 10:01)K4680 Wrote:(12-May-2019, 22:12)GuillaumeB Wrote:(12-May-2019, 21:14)K4680 Wrote: Hi, I saw the switch at different companies during their performances !! The smaller model is called M12 Switch Magic and will retail at 2,550 euros. I believe this includes a couple of Telegärtner ethernet cables with M12 connectors. I asked Marcin about the performance of this model relative to the Gold, he said it gave around 60% of the performance of the Gold. https://telegaertner.co.jp/product/audio_products/m12_switch_magic.html It seems that these products are made by Telegärtner Japan and distributed by JPLAY outside of Japan.

Hi, thank you for the info!

I know, I know! Madness. Wow, color me impressed, congrats!

I must admit that playing around with fiber is a bit tempting now owning the switch. Can someone tell me how flexible / bendable fiber optic cable is? Is it easy to damage? In my case, I would have to run it under the flooring and around a couple of corners...

Hello Baconbrain, do not stretch and kink. Due to the shell not very sensitive!

When I myself first bought optical cables I didn’t do much ‘research’ and just bought plain OM4 type cables, brand unknown. Only later I saw that there’s all types of specialty cables as well including types that can bend. Have a look here for example: https://www.fs.com/c/fiber-optic-cables-209 You can see there’s ‘bend insensitive’ cables (BIF) there for example or ruggedized ones. So short answer: it depends on the cable. All (should) have the maximum bend radius’s specified.

Are you currently running Multi- or Singlemode?

I bought the parts for the optical setup before many people started experimenting with different types of cables, SFP’s, single/multi mode etc. It now seems to matter also or at least some people report differences in the resulting SQ of their systems. So while I am at standard 550nm multi mode, single mode for long distances like 20/40/80kms seems better. Corning cables seems to get good reviews. I’ve only found snippets of information re this subject on audiophilestyle and whatsbestforum. I do believe @octaviars has researched and/or experimented here a bit. I myself have put it on the ‘virtual to do list’ for perhaps after the etherREGEN becomes available (which also has an optical input).

The ClearCurve® Rugged Drop, Indoor, Tight-Buffered Cable, Plenum 1 F, Single-mode from Corning sounds like it has the flexibility and protection for a dwelling installation but finding a distributor in Germany is a bit challenging.
