It fits the slot, it clicks in, but the Cisco switch does not work with it in place. Maybe Cisco designed their switches to operate with Cisco SFPs only, or Cisco-compatible SFPs. I bought my SFP from FS.com and they are labelled specifically as Cisco SFP so I think this must be the case.The Cisco has an optical port but it won't take the SFP? I think the SFP's are pretty standard. I have used several brands in the ER and SOtM. You could connect the ER's with fiber.
I know that some use the Cisco with ER connected with fiber. you can ask on Audiophile style forum or Naim community. You have to use the right SFP.It fits the slot, it clicks in, but the Cisco switch does not work with it in place.

The two ERs are on two separate system, so I run two lengths of fibre from the Cisco switch So connecting the two would not work in this set up.
Thanks. Yes I have FS SFPs which work. I wanted to try the Finisar SFP that is recommended here. they don’t work though.I know that some use the Cisco with ER connected with fiber. you can ask on Audiophile style forum or Naim community. You have to use the right SFP.
Fine it works for you with one brand of fiber.Thanks. Yes I have FS SFPs which work. I wanted to try the Finisar SFP that is recommended here. they don’t work though.
I bought the AfterDark Queen 75ohm square wave reference clock to go with my EtherRegen. This one: https://www.adark.co/products/after...udiophilestyle-edition?variant=39265193689206
It's been burning in for 2 weeks and has made a profound improvement to musical enjoyment. My only regret is not springing for the Emperor Signature.
Highly recommended.
How has everyone communicated with Afterdark? I tried contacting and it took days for them to reply. Then Adrian finally started in on the conversation and I felt he was helpful. I am new to clocks and modded switches but wanted to try them out. I thought I made it clear to Adrian that I wanted a switch and a clock for EtherRegen. He recommended their modified Buffalo cascade switch/clock and a high current LPS. However after ordering I was confused and asked some clarifying questions. Again, after several days, Adrian finally answered and he told me I need an additional clock for the EtherRegen. The clock in the switch apparently is only for the switch. I also asked what is the “cascade” referring to and he replied ( I think) that the cascade only applies if you buy two switches in the one case. So what does cascade mean if you buy the one switch? To me, this website is very confusing to newbies like myself and the customer service suffers from language barriers. I would like to purchase merchandise from them but I am frustrated
Perhaps the music system, cable tv box etc. is away from the ISP's main point ?Why do you need an EtherRegen and a switch? The EtherRegen *is* a switch.

I use the EtherRegen between my current switch and my streamer ((antipodes K50). I have a cable from switch to EtherRegen A side. And cable from EtherRegen B side to streamer. There is only one out/input on B side and 4 ports on A side. One A port is used to get feed from router. So that leaves only three open ports on A side. I certainly have a need for more than three Ethernet inputs so hence the need for a switch. The Afterdark switch is supposedly a good switch often cited on this forum (Buffalo 2016) which they modify with upgraded parts and add a clock. No clue if this will improve sq but anecdotal reports on this site indicate it may help. I’ll find out whenever I get the units to Afterdark. I can tell you that using a rail from my Uptone JS-2 to power my existing Cisco switch really did improve sq so it seems like that part of the chain can benefit from upgradesWhy do you need an EtherRegen and a switch?

Is there an ideal voltage to feed the etherregen?
I'm in the market for a new PSU.
Thankyou
I use a 12v Farad Super3. It brought an improvement nearly as significant as the EtherRegen itself.Is there an ideal voltage to feed the etherregen?

I currently have placed the EtherRegen, which is powered by a farad super3, directly on top of a Keces p8. Do you think this might me a problem? Unfortunately hardly got any other place for it.
