StarTech.com USB-C to Fiber Optic Converter - Open SFP US1GC30SFP

Connect to a GbE network through your laptop-s USB-C port using the Gigabit SFP of your choice

This USB-C- to fiber-optic converter lets you utilize the USB 3.0 (Type-C-) port on your laptop or tablet to provide a secure fiber network connection. Windows- and Mac compatible, the network adapter provides a Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) optical network connection for portable laptops or tablets, or systems without expansion slots.

A flexible solution with an open SFP slot

The 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, connection type to achieve an efficient network solution. (SFP sold separately.)

Secure fiber-to-the-desk connectivity

This USB to fiber-optic converter provides reliable fiber connectivity while protecting your network from problems with electronic interference - a common issue with copper Ethernet 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 portability

Compact and portable, this USB-C to fiber-optic converter is powered directly from the USB port.

Plug and play

Get 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-C port, you simply install the drivers and the adapter is ready to transmit over a fiber network.

Specs




Ports & interfaces


Connectivity technology

The technology that enables connectivity of the device, e.g. wired or wireless.

Wired


Host interface

Interface that enables a host controller to communicate with a driver.

USB Type-C


Interface

Interface ports to connect pieces of equipment. USB (Universal Serial Bus) has become the most popular wired interface to connect peripherals. USB 2.0 supports speeds up to 480 Mbit/s (USB 1: 12 Mbit/s). The interface FireWire is also known as the IEEE 1394 standard. Enhanced IDE (EIDE)is sometimes referred to as Fast ATA, Fast IDE or ATA-2.

Fiber


Fiber ports quantity

The number of sockets (ports) for fibers (cables).

1


Fiber optic connector

This terminates the end of an optical fiber, and enables quicker connection and disconnection than splicing. The connectors mechanically couple and align the cores of fibers so light can pass. Better connectors lose very little light due to reflection or misalignment of the fibers. In all there have been about 100 types of optic fiber connectors produced.

SFP


USB version

Universal Serial Bus (USB) is an industry standard developed in the mid-1990s that defines the interface used for connection, communication and power supply between computers and electronic devices. Every new version - for example 1.1, 2.0, 3.0 - is much faster than the previous one.

3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1)


Network


Maximum data transfer rate

The maximum speed with which data can be transmitted from one device to another.
00 Mbit/s


Networking standards

The way in which the network is working, e.g. IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g.

IEEE 802.1Q, IEEE 802.3z


Fiber ethernet cabling technology

Chipset

Set of electronic components in an integrated circuit that manages the data flow between the processor, memory and peripherals. It is usually found in the motherboard of a computer. Chipsets are usually designed to work with a specific family of microprocessors. Because it controls communications between the processor and external devices, the chipset plays a crucial role in determining system performance.
