Issue is if one doesn't have optical input on streamer and optical ISP we're converting ethernet to optical back to ethernet. So consider optimized ethernet> optimized optical> optimized ethernet. This would be something like router or switch (both need optimization via lps, cables etc)> two opticalmodules with Finisar, or possibly Telegartner unit Latik pointed out (lps, cables,etc)> optimized ethernet either before streamer or within streamer, in my case within streamer via JCAT Net XE card. So now we have total optimize network from router through streamer.
Compare to simpler all ethernet setup. Only need in most cases a single ethernet filter, something like Acoustic Network Muon. Will optical/ethernet setup described above be superior to this simpler ethernet setup? Lots of complexity involved in the hybrid setup, also expense. For me it would have to pay off big time to go with this complex, cluttered arrangement. Still, could be worth all the compexity, I'm not that far away from attaining the complex hybrid setup if I went to one streamer setup, would only need to purchase a single OM, have every other piece to make this happen. With two box streamer setup, optimizing both sides of server gets really crazy with complexity.
