Easy to use and fast
This is a very handy adapter. You can put in your SFP of choice and your good to go from Ethernet to USB 3.0. I found the device to work extremely well and had no issues using it with windows. I saw another review mention issues with Mac and I haven’t tried using it with a Mac but it should be compatible with Mac OS. I think the best aspect is how small and light it is. You can throw this in your laptop back and if you do any sort of networking or fiber optic work this is a great tool to have on hand. Star tech is well established and been around for quite some time. The price is average for an adapter like this. All around it is a decent product and does it’s job well. Speed was actually impressive too. I certainly recommend this for people that deal with networking often.

Disappointed as it would have been nice to be able to connect directly to my wired networks (PON, 1000Base-TX and 1000Base-SX) when needed....
Was excited to get this ... but does not work as needed

I connected this to a MacBook 2015 (same results for MacBook Pro 2018) with a USB-C to USB-A adapter. As the photos show the adapter powered up (light is one for power on the adapter). As the screen shows macOS can see the Ethernet interface. When the transceiver is inserted the Ethernet shows up as connected (the light shows that on the adapter) -- and correspondingly in the software. But it does not work. As the last photo shows (are does not show) -- there is no link or traffic light (both of which are the bottom left -- and right respectively of the CAT5 / RJ45) shown inserted into the transceiver. What I think is going on here is that the adapter does not have the electrical power required to power up the 1000Base-TX transceiver. Sadly this is a far more common case than 1000Base-SX, so the adapter just does not work. Same results on another computer with a different C to A adapter (different brand).Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2019
