ADOT MC02 (Media Converter) Audiophile Optical Fibre Network Kit

ADOT MC02 (Media Converter) Audiophile Optical Fibre Network Kit

The ADOT MC02 media converter is supplied as a single converter kit for users of network devices which have a SFP input (units such as Melco N5, S100/2 and more...). This single media converter kit sits between a router and the network device and galvanically isolates the data stream allowing a noise free LAN connection.

The MC02 kit includes all components required to convert the Copper ethernet cable (RJ/45) connected to a router to a optical fibre connection direct into the SFP input on a network device but with a higher level of plug type linear PSU.

ADOT Details:

ADOT (Audiophile Digital Optical Technology) uses optical fibre to galvanically isolate the data signal between your router and network streaming devices. All connection options are available from devices with traditional RJ/45 (ethernet) LAN connections and for devices that have a direct SFP Fibre LAN input (such as Melco N5 or S100/2).

This clever little (but very important) system converts Copper ethernet (RJ/45) to a optical (fibre) data stream and the difference is far from subtle with a MUCH quiter background giving a much more accurate musical performance. 

Why upgrade?

Analogue audio is delicate. Digital audio is just as delicate, plus digital data needs to be treated with the utmost respect to achieve the results that today’s high-resolution digital music files promise.

The reason is simple.

Behind the 0’s and 1’s, hi-fi electrical signals are still analogue, and just as susceptible to the influence from noise and interference. This additional noise damages the integrity of the pulse edges. This uncertain transition point, of a noisy pulse edge, results in timing errors and jitter.

The solution is simple too.

By breaking the conducted signal, we remove the interference and isolate the hi-fi system. This is done with fibre optics––now the data can be communicated to the digital components, but without any risk of introducing any conducted interference and noise. 

Which ADOT Unit Do i Need?

The ADOT optical fibre system is available in various options from the starting kit MC01 all the way to the MC04 Plixar PSU. This allows for all types of connections/combinations which are explained below.

ADOT Options For Devices WITH SFP Fibre Input:

MC01: Includes MC01 x 1, SFP x 2, 1.5 metre Fibre x 1, Standard Plug Type PSU 

MC02: Incudes MC01 x 1, SFP x 2, 1.5 metre Fibre x 1, Linear Plug Type PSU 

MC03NP: Includes MC01 x 1, SFP x 2, 1.5 metre Fibre x 1, NuPrime LPS-205 Linear PSU 

MC03Plix: Includes MC01 x 1, SFP x 2, 1.5 metre Fibre x 1, Plixar Elite BDC Linear PSU 

Please Note: The above ADOT MC options are for products that already have a SFP Fibre input (such as Melco N5 or Melco S100/2) so only require a SINGLE ADOT MC Firbe transmitter.

ADOT Options For Devices With NO SFP Fibre Input:

The options listed here for devices with NO SFP input which requires 2 x ADOT MC01 units. These dual kits start from the MC02 Dual listed below which is a complete kit of parts to galvanically isolate your network device.

MC02 Dual: Incudes MC01 x 2, SFP x 2, 1.5 metre Fibre x 1, 1 x Melco CAT 7 Cable, Linear Plug Type PSU, 1 x DC Splitter

For those wanting to increase performance further than the MC02 Dual on devices with NO SFP inputs there are linear Power supply upgrades from NuPrime or Plixar which can be added which make the following kits:

MC03NP Dual: Incudes MC01 x 2, SFP x 2, 1.5 metre Fibre x 1, 1 x Melco CAT 7 Cable, NuPrime Linear PSU, 1 x DC Splitter

MC03Plix Dual: Incudes MC01 x 2, SFP x 2, 1.5 metre Fibre x 1, 1 x Melco CAT 7 Cable, Plixir Linear PSU, 1 x DC Splitter

Fibre cables can be used over long distances meaning that distances of copper etherent (RJ/45) cables to be kept to shortist length possible.

Standard lengths of fibre multi-mode cables can be supplied up to 50 metre long at a reanonable cost.
