## Long description

The StarTech.com Gigabit Fiber to RJ45 Ethernet Media Converter Dongle is a compact, USB-powered adapter that converts a Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet connection to single-mode or multimode LC fiber. Designed for upgrading Cat6 or similar copper cabling to an EMI-immune fiber link, this unmanaged converter provides up to 1 Gbps throughput and supports single-mode distances to 10 km and multimode distances to 800 m. The metal housing integrates LC fiber and RJ45 ports and includes LED indicators for link, activity, and power.
Advantages
This media converter is plug-and-play and requires no additional software or configuration. Its built-in USB power cable makes it suitable where external power supplies are unavailable. The robust metal enclosure with IP20 rating and a spring-loaded LC port dust tab increase durability and port protection. The RJ45 connector features a metal tab to ensure a secure connection and reduce accidental disconnections. Link Fault Pass-Through (LFPT) is supported to help monitor connectivity via LED behavior.
Suitable for
Upgrading computers, switches and routers from copper to fiber
Field deployments and remote networking where compact, USB-powered converters are needed
Industrial automation and telecommunications requiring EMI-immune links
Broadcasting and data center connections over short to medium fiber distances
