StarTech USB 3.0 to Fiber Optic Converter - Open SFP - 1000BASE-SX/LX
Connect to a Gigabit Ethernet network through your laptop’s USB-A port using the Gigabit SFP of your choice - USB 3.0 to GbE Network Adapter - Open SFP
This USB 3.0 to fiber-optic converter lets you utilize the USB 3.0 (Type-A) port on your laptop or tablet to provide a secure fiber network connection. Windows® and Mac compatible, the network adapter provides a Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mbps) optical network connection for portable laptops or tablets, or systems without expansion slots.
A flexible solution with an open SFP slotThe open SFP slot enables you to use your preferred SFP transceiver module to meet your networking needs - use an SFP with your desired wavelength, distance, and connection type to achieve an efficient network solution. (SFP sold separately.)
Secure fiber-to-the-desk connectivityThis USB to fiber-optic converter provides reliable fiber connectivity while protecting your network from problems with electronic interference - a common issue with RJ45 networks. Fiber-to-the-desk connectivity (FTTD) maximizes network security, reducing the risk of data leaks for sensitive information, without compromising network speed and reliability.
Easy portabilityCompact and portable, this USB 3.0 to fiber-optic converter is powered directly from the USB port.
Plug and playGet up and running quickly. The USB to fiber-optic converter supports certified drivers for Windows, Mac and Linux®. Once the adapter is plugged into a USB port, you simply install the drivers and the adapter is ready to transmit over a fiber network.
