There is simply no mechanism by which noise can be transferred over an optical cable. Noise is transferred over electrical connections and no such connection exists using optical. Fiber will kill any noise being transmitted with the data which contains the digitised music. If this this the case, than the only important ethernet cable would be from FMC to DAC/Streamer - the rest can be "simple" CAT6 U/UTP (see below illustration). What are you thoughts about that?

Hi I am looking for a single mode Fiber Optic Patch Cable. It has to have: Grade B connectors APC Bend Insensitive Thanks Torben

I recently installed a couple points of fiber optic isolation on my network. One between the switch and my Mac Mini server (TP-Link MC200CM with 15 foot duplex cable) with the other between the switch and PS Audio Directstream DAC (TP-Link MC100CM with 5 ft cable- the MC200CM wouldn't work with my DAC!). As of right now I am powering my PS Audio LANRover and the receiving module for the DAC with my UpTone Ultracaps LPS-1 with splitter. So I'm wondering if there's any point in getting another LPS-1 for the sending units as well. I can theoretically see the benefit of doing do, but does it really make a difference? And is the receiving unit to the DAC the one to power with the LPS if you can only choose one fiber module? Any input is greatly appreciated!
