Hi everybody.

We are still hard at work on EtherREGEN Gen2—utilizing more readily available parts and incorporating a number of technical advancements. These include Gigabit capability on both the ‘A’ and ‘B’ sides of our unique active-differential-isolation moat, even lower jitter clock synthesizers, new PHY chips, and the world’s best sine-to-square wave converter (benefiting those who chose to pair with an external 10MHz reference clock). The new version will even include a second SFP cage—on the ‘B’ side—to improve performance for users of optical endpoints. A challenging engineering puzzle--with the new high-performance, low-jitter PHY chip that we have chosen--has been solved at long last! Now we can finally move forward with the "unified" design, bringing all elements together. However, one more development board must be finished before we can produce a final set of pre-production/beta boards. This progression will take a few more months--therefore we now expect first shipment of EtherREGEN Gen2 will not take place until June 2025. Thank you for your patience and enthusiasm. (Please note that we will not be taking any trade-ins to upgrade to Gen2. Different circuit board, different case, and we can not resell used products.​

Anybody knows anything more about this new switch?

I’m sure that @Superdad has insight.
