The Aurender NH10 network switch is priced at $4 700 and features eight gigabit ports. The device includes six copper ports and two SFP ports designed for fiber or copper transceivers.
Four of the copper ports utilize seven electrical filtering stages, while the other two ports feature two stages. The manufacturer stated that the seven-stage configuration was selected based on listening comparisons.
The internal hardware includes a Realtek RT8370N switch controller, an MV85 oscillator, and an AMD/Xilinx Spartan 6 FPGA. The device also incorporates an Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillator for clock synchronization.
The switch provides a BNC input on the rear panel to support an external clock source. Despite the high price point, the device does not support 10 GbE connectivity.
