Default New SFPs in 'da house!

Been reading in-depth Emile's posts on another forum about the SFPs that he found to be the best-sounding SFPs, and what he recommends for use with the Taiko Extreme. So, today I got in two of 'em in to try out.

I got these from Planet Technology Corp., and they are 1000Base-LX single-mode SFPs from MGB-TLX that support transmission up to 20KM over 9/125 fiber.





I also got in some Corning LC/LC 9/125 fiber to try out as well vs. the Tripp-Lite LC/LC fiber I'm currently using (which has been working fine).


The nice thing about the Lumin P1 is I can run fiber directly from the EtherREGEN in the "remote server room" straight in to the back of the Lumin P1, and be done. No messin' around with network bridges, power supplies for network bridges, power cables for the power supplies for the network bridges, power cables for the DAC, Ethernet cables for the network bridge, USB cables for the DAC, interconnects from the DAC to the preamp, blah, blah, blah...

Basically, with the P1, it's "one and done"! Simple is GOOD.

Going to start out with the optical transceivers first, and then when I get a chance, I'll install the run of the new Corning fiber.

Stay tuned...
