StarTech USB 2.0 to Fiber Optic Converter

This USB to fiber-optic converter lets you utilize the USB 2.0 (Type-A) port on your laptop or tablet to provide a secure fiber network connection. Windows and Mac compatible, the network adapter provides a 100Mbps Ethernet network connection and 100BaseFX SC optical transceiver.

Fiber-optic SC port:
With an optical transceiver for 100Base-FX networks, the USB to fiber converter delivers network connectivity with a maximum range of 2 km over multimode fiber.

Secure fiber-to-the-desk connectivity:
For reliable fiber connectivity, this USB to fiber-optic converter protects 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 of sensitive information, without compromising network speed and reliability.

Easy portability:
Compact and portable, this USB 2.0 to fiber-optic converter is powered directly from the USB port, making it easy to connect when you’re on the go.

Plug and play:
Get up and running quickly. The USB fiber-optic converter supports certified drivers for Windows and Linux. When you plug the adapter into a USB port, you simply install the drivers, and the adapter is ready to transmit over a fiber network.
