Introduction

Add Gigabit Ethernet network connectivity to a Laptop or Desktop through a USB Type-C or A port

Add a Gigabit network port to your computer, using a USB Type-C connection. The RJ45 port supports multiple speeds (10/100/1000 Mbps) and is fully compatible with Cat5 (and higher) cabling. Share or receive files over a network, access network storage/backup, and stream online content while reducing wait times and slowdowns.

1 Gigabit Network Connection

This adapter supports both current and legacy Ethernet networks down to 10Mbps, making it ideal for providing a reliable network connection almost anywhere whether at home, work or while traveling. The USB-C host connector with attached USB-C to USB-A dongle offers compatibility with laptops, desktop computers, and 2-in-1's. The Realtek chipset is broadly supported on new and older laptops enabling PXE capabilities to aid IT departments with provisioning and maintaining systems along with Wake-on-LAN (WoL) support. The adapter provides a wired connection that is faster and more secure than wireless, making it ideal for IT professionals.

Plug and Play Device Configuration

Simply connect the network adapter to your computer's USB Type-C port. This USB-C to RJ45 adapter features VLAN tagging, 9K Jumbo Frames, Wake-on-LAN, Status LEDs and full-duplex Ethernet making it the perfect companion for on-the-go users who require a wired network connection.

Compact and Versatile Design

The USB Gigabit network adapter is light and compact. It features a built-in 6in (15cm) cable provides extended reach and improved flexibility, while reducing cable/connector strain. Additionally, USB bus power simplifies the setup and makes it a convenient accessory while on the move.
