[QUOTE="pwatts, post: 1098036, member: 146"] My research so far has pointed that a cascaded setup of both fiber and copper yields the best results, consistently. For a run like you mean, and especially considering the power differences to be expected due to the distance variation to the DB, I would go fiber for the long run, then a switch or media converter to go copper closer to the streamer. Don't cheap out on those, including the SFPs for fiber. Startech is the brand to go for when buying SFPs. The closer you get to the streamer, the more attention to be paid to the quality of the converter/switch and cables. Chuck out any switching power supplies and replace with linear ones. It quickly becomes a rabbit hole - who said streaming is simpler than CD... Feel free to contact me with q's. [/QUOTE]
