For 50FT run, Linkup cable would be more than adequate for your application.

I recommend Linkup CAT 8 - 26AWG from your router to SGC. Send a message to manufacturer through Amazon for custom length.

“I guess I’m asking if I should convert to fiber at my switch next to my router, run 50 feet of fiber and convert to ethernet just in front of my DAC or run 50’ of ethernet and convert to fiber and then back to ethernet just in front of my DAC.” Avoid conversion back n forth. If I have a choice between ethernet cable or fiber, I always pick ethernet cable based on my comparison. Fiber or ethernet, best way to settle this is to buy both and listen in your system. Keep the one that sounds best to your ears. |
“I preferred the copper” That’s been my experience as well. I have taken the approach to clean LAN grunge and block noise by adapting to Telegartner Opt Bridge 1000M - Optical Isolator. This gives me best of both worlds and I am extremely pleased with the results. I am using a pair of FTA Métis LAN cables in and out of Opt Bridge…I’m done tweaking my Streaming setup (for now). |
