Sonore Rendu or similar


I am somewhat lost about adding these optical or fiber devices into the modem/router/ethernet to streamer pathway. My Verizon FIOS is a modem/router with fiber cable, not copper cable. Do I need anything like Sonore Rendu or similar devices if I have fiber in the streamer path already? Thank you. Neal

I used a pair of TP Link media converters.   Has a SFP port that accepts an optical module.  Works perfectly.  Zero noise or problems converting a Ethernet over AC adapter to optical before my network switch 

You want to convert back from fiber just before the device you want to isolate. So if you have a music streamer like a ultraRendu you want to convert it to fiber Ethernet then back to wired Ethernet. Use a short one foot Ethernet cable to go from the FMC (Fiber Media Converter) to the streamer so it doesn't pick up much noise.

I recommend using a linear supply on the FMC on the clean end of the fiber that goes into the streamer and if you want very good noise reduction use an opticalModule. The opticalModule is a very low noise FMC made by Sonore.
