Portable fiber adapter for USB-C laptops

This USB-C to fiber-optic converter adds a Gigabit Ethernet connection through a laptop or tablet USB 3.0 Type-C port. An open SFP slot accepts MSA-compliant transceiver modules so you can choose the wavelength and distance that suit the link. Fiber-to-the-desk connectivity reduces electromagnetic interference and data-leak risk compared with copper. The adapter is bus powered and works with Windows, macOS and Linux drivers.

Silent operation within 0 to 60 °C

No fan is present so the device runs silently in normal use. Power is drawn directly from the USB-C port, eliminating an external supply. Operating temperature range is 0 to 60 °C and storage range extends to -10 to 70 °C. Humidity tolerance spans 5 to 90 % RH non-condensing.

Compact aluminium housing with status LEDs

The enclosure measures 0.80 by 2.20 by 10.20 inches and weighs 0.22 lb, making it easy to carry alongside a laptop. Front LEDs show power and link or activity status at a glance. A single USB-C female connector and one SFP slot provide all physical interfaces. Wake-on-LAN is supported for remote management.

Questions about this item

How do I install the US1GC30SFP and which step is often missed?

Plug the adapter into a USB 3.0 Type-C port, insert an MSA-compliant SFP module into the open slot, then connect the fiber cable; the step often missed is installing the certified driver for Windows, macOS or Linux before first use.

What maintenance or replacement will the US1GC30SFP need later?

The adapter itself has no moving parts or replaceable components; only the SFP transceiver module (sold separately) may need replacement if you change wavelength, distance or connector type.

What limit appears first on the US1GC30SFP during sustained use?

The operating temperature ceiling of 60 °C (140 °F) is the first hard limit; sustained heavy traffic in a warm enclosure can push the adapter to this threshold.
