Official product information provided by LHY Audio
The following product descriptions, specifications and images are provided by the manufacturer.
LHY Audio EFI is a two-port Gigabit Ethernet filter that converts the network signal through dual photoelectric modules to break the electrical path between router and streamer. It provides plug-and-play optical galvanic isolation without requiring an external fiber cable.
Why it stands out
Optical isolation inside one chassis
Dual photoelectric modules interrupt the direct copper path.
Simple two-port installation
One LAN input and one isolated RJ45 output simplify setup.
Dedicated low-noise power stages
Independent LT3042+PNP regulation supports the conversion modules.
Built for audio endpoints
The one-in/one-out layout targets the final link before a streamer.
Best for
- Single network streamer installations
- Systems affected by Ethernet ground noise
- Isolation without external fiber modules
- Compact high-end network audio systems
Not ideal for
- Users needing multiple Ethernet outputs
- 2.5GbE or 10GbE endpoints
- Systems needing routing or Wi-Fi
- Users wanting an external SFP link
EMiUZEK Buying Notes
- EFI is an isolator, not a switch or router.
- Both external connections are Gigabit RJ45.
- Place it near the streamer and use the isolated output.
Frequently asked questions

What speed does it support?
Gigabit Ethernet.
Can it connect directly to a streamer?
Yes.
Is it a managed switch?
No.
Does it replace the router?
No. Install it downstream.
