Product information

Description

The USB 3.0 to Fiber Optic Converter StarTech US1GA30SFP provides a USB-powered way to add a Gigabit SFP port to a laptop, tablet or desktop. The adapter accepts standard SFP transceivers (sold separately) and supports both multi-mode and single-mode fiber links with up to 1000 Mbit/s throughput. The host interface is USB 3.0 Type-A and the device supports networking standards including IEEE 802.3z and IEEE 802.1Q, enabling VLAN-aware Gigabit fiber connectivity without an expansion slot.

Advantages

This compact converter is powered directly from the USB port, making it portable and easy to deploy at the desk or in the field. The open SFP slot gives flexibility to choose wavelength, distance and connector type that match your network requirements. Fiber connectivity reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and improves security for sensitive data compared with copper Ethernet. Certified drivers for Windows, macOS and Linux simplify installation and operation.

Suitable for

Adding a Gigabit SFP port to laptops or desktops for temporary or permanent fiber access
Testing and troubleshooting fiber networks with different SFP transceivers
Fiber-to-the-desk (FTTD) deployments where electrical isolation and security are required
Migrations from copper to optical links without internal expansion capabilities

Key specifications

Host interface: USB 3.0 Type-A (bus-powered)
Network interface: SFP slot supporting SFP transceivers (multi-mode and single-mode)
Maximum data transfer rate: 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
Networking standards: IEEE 802.3z, IEEE 802.1Q (VLAN tag support)
Product colour: Black
Weight: 0.106 kg

How to use

Install the appropriate certified driver for your operating system (Windows, macOS or Linux) following the instructions from StarTech.com. Insert a compatible SFP transceiver into the open SFP slot, connect the fiber cable to the transceiver, then plug the converter into an available USB 3.0 Type-A port on your host device. Once the driver is installed and the SFP module is recognized, configure network settings or VLAN parameters as required by your environment. The adapter is bus-powered, so no external power supply is needed.

Usage recommendations

Use SFP transceivers that match your network’s wavelength and distance requirements and are compatible with the adapter. For best throughput, connect to a USB 3.0 port (Type-A) on the host. Keep driver software up to date and consider using the StarTech.com Connectivity Tools application for improved device management and network utilities such as MAC pass-through and Wi‑Fi auto switch functions.
