Network Interface Cards

Network adapters, WiFi cards, fibre modules and converters to get any piece of equipment onto the network.

What you'll find in this collection

• USB to Ethernet adapters: USB 3.0 to Gigabit RJ45, compatible with Windows, Mac and Android — the answer when a laptop no longer has a network port.
• USB WiFi adapters: TP-Link Archer T2U and dual-band AC600 models, to add 5 GHz WiFi to a desktop machine.
• SFP and SFP+ modules: 1000Base-LX multimode LC up to 2 km, and SFP+ 10G 850 nm multimode LC up to 300 m.
• Media converters: Gigabit RJ45 to multimode SC fibre, up to 550 m.
• RJ45 couplers, Cat6 UTP female-to-female, for joining cable runs.

When to move to fibre: beyond 100 metres copper stops being reliable, and that is where media converters and SFP modules come in. For linking two buildings or two units, it is the right call.
