nm, LC

MODEL NUMBER: U336-1G-SFP

USB to Ethernet adapter provides Fiber-to-the-Desk (FTTD) connectivity to desktops, tablets and laptops
in your mission-critical network.

Features

USB to Ethernet Adapter Bolsters Your Fiber-to-the-Desk (FTTD) Network Connections

The U336-1G-SFP allows you to instantly connect your computer, laptop or tablet’s USB-A port to a
10/100/1000 Mbps fiber optic network. The adapter helps bring fiber connectivity directly to your desk or
workstation without a costly overall upgrade to fiber optic infrastructure. It is bus-powered through the
USB port, so no external power is needed.

Open SFP Port Allows Both Singlemode and Multimode Transmissions

Connect your own singlemode or multimode LC SFP transceiver to the adapter’s open SFP port. The
U336-1G-SFP transmits data up to 5 kilometers (singlemode) or 550 meters (multimode) from your fiber
network using a 1310 nm wavelength. It is fully hot-swappable, so you can install it without a potentially
costly network shutdown or device reboot.

Delivers Full Gigabit Ethernet Performance with Audio and Video Streaming

This compact transceiver Ethernet adapter is ideal for cable installers and troubleshooters who need to
quickly and easily test multiple fiber connections. The U336-1G-SFP supports full 1 Gbps fiber optic
network speeds, as well as USB 3.1 Gen 1 speeds up to 5 Gbps, allowing you to transfer data efficiently
and stream audio and video. A blue LED indicates successful Ethernet connection and data transfer. The
adapter works with Windows and Mac operating systems.

Shielding EMI/RFI Line Noise Helps Your Equipment Perform Better

Various electromagnetic and radio sources found in virtually every home and business can cause
disruptive interference on the AC line. Known as EMI (electromagnetic interference) and RFI (radio
frequency interference), this line noise is a common cause of performance problems. By connecting your
desktop or laptop to a fiber network, your equipment is protected from disruptive line noise that can inflict
hardware damage or data loss. This EMI/RFI shielding also helps your connected components perform
better and last longer.

Future-Proof Your Hardware to Keep Up with Growing Traffic Rates

Besides being more reliable than lower-bandwidth copper cabling, fiber optic Ethernet cables allow data to
move faster and farther without the risk of data leaks. The U336-1G-SFP provides an instant FTTD
connection that allows your desktop, laptop or tablet to operate at its full online potential.
