In the process of overhauling the shack's wiring, I'm wanting to replace
my existing ethernet switch with a box that is properly shielded - or at
least has one with a low emission footprint. Here i'm talking about
radiation from the box itself - not via the connected ethernet lan cable
runs.
Unfortunately the houses' home-run location terminates a few feet from
my shack and so the switch needs to be located there. I can apply
ferrite / common mode treatment to the power supply and lan cables that
connect to the box. But I also need a box that is properly shielded
from a ham point-of-view. The switches I have now are all of the
plastic-case variety and they all are pretty noisy.
I was hoping someone may have found a "quite" switch that could be
recommended. Some of the semi-pro (e.g. Netgear home-office rack mount)
stuff has metal cases -- but I don't know if that actually means they
are quieter.
