iFi SilentPower OMNI LAN

Audiophile Network Switch with Optical Isolation and Femto-Precision Clocking
Sale price$799

Description

The SilentPower OMNI LAN is a high-performance network switch designed for audiophile systems, home theaters, and professional AV installations. Triple-stage isolation—including optical galvanic isolation—helps prevent electrical noise and interference from traveling between connected network devices, while femto-precision Global Master Timing (GMT) clocking is designed to minimize jitter and maintain accurate network timing.

The OMNI LAN provides 13 network ports, including dedicated Ultra-Pure RJ45, optical SC, and industrial M12 connections, alongside standard RJ45 and optical SFP connectivity. Four Ultra-Pure ports are specifically intended for critical components such as music streamers and network-connected DACs.

A high-resolution TFT display provides real-time incoming and outgoing bandwidth monitoring for each network port, while configurable grounding modes, 10MHz BNC master-clock connectivity, smartphone control, and optional rack mounting make the OMNI LAN equally suited to high-end home audio and custom AV installations.

SilentPower OMNI LAN Network Noise Isolator

Triple-Stage Isolation

The OMNI LAN converts incoming network data to optical and back again, creating electrical separation between input and output. Combined with additional isolation stages, this is designed to reduce electrical noise and interference before the network signal reaches sensitive audio and AV components.

Femto-Precision GMT Clocking

SilentPower's internal Global Master Timing system uses femto-precision clocking to regenerate the data stream with low jitter and consistent timing. A 10MHz BNC clock connection also allows integration with compatible external master-clock systems.

Ultra-Pure Network Ports

Four Ultra-Pure connections—two RJ45, one optical SC, and one industrial M12—are provided for critical networked components such as music streamers and DACs. Eight standard RJ45 ports and an optical SFP port provide additional connectivity for the rest of the network.

Real-Time Network Monitoring

The integrated TFT display monitors incoming and outgoing bandwidth across the OMNI LAN's network ports, providing real-time information that can help with system monitoring and troubleshooting.
