If I am using a pair of FMC’s ie. TP Link MC100CM’s at router and then a BJC CAT6 to a single source ie. an Aries streamer, does adding a switch somewhere to the chain make a difference? Or does going fibre with the FMC's already provide enough isolation to cover it.

I only have a single source.

@mikey8811  I was using similar optical isolation with dual opticalModules from Sonore each powered by its own SGC 5V power supply. I replaced the one downstream with the EtherRegen. Kept the opticalModule upstream. This change provided an audible positive SQ difference for me. EtherRegen gives us more than optical isolation. Read the technical details if so inclined:

Having said this, each system is different. You will need to try for yourself if you really want to know for sure.

@thyname I am unsure if that will work for me as my optical modules are not Gigabit but only 100 Mbps.
From what I have read I believe switches like these and the SOtM one need a Gigabit connection.
The reason I asked is because I was under the impression that switches are used only when you have more than one upstream or downstream connection.
