Will likely need some of these in the future (be remember: USB 2.0 in Bulgaria and 3.0 in Germany price difference is about 10-fold) as galvanic isolation can reduce risks of gear blowing out a lot, for example when working with SDR (software-defined radio – often USB devices) and roof antennas:

- [WaybackSave/Archive] ⚡bacteriophage⚡ on X: “@ok1cdj @MehdiHacks nah, based on ADUM4160 so only 12Mbps data rate. ADUM4165 with 480 Mbps is preferable”
- [WaybackSave/Archive] Archimago’s Musings: MEASUREMENTS: Intona 7055-C USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Isolator. And Darko & Lavorgna hear no difference with the Silent Angel ethernet switch. [Importance of open discussions.]
