ABLEWE USB-C Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

The ABLEWE USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter adds a wired RJ45 network port to laptops and tablets that only have USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 sockets. It targets professionals and students who need a stable, high-speed connection for video calls, large file transfers or secure office networks. The compact grey dongle works with Windows 10, 8.1, 8, macOS and Chrome OS devices.

Aluminium casing and plug-and-play convenience

An aluminium shell dissipates heat during sustained transfers while keeping the adapter light at 20 grams and slim at 9.64 in x 0.98 in x 0.75 in. No driver installation is required on supported operating systems; simply insert the Type-C plug and the link negotiates automatically. The single RJ45 port delivers up to 1000 Mbps when paired with a USB 3.0 host port and Cat6 or better cabling.

Check host port speed

Full gigabit throughput only occurs when the host USB-C port runs at USB 3.0 or higher; USB 2.0 ports will limit speed to 10/100 Mbps. You must also use Cat6 or higher Ethernet cables to reach the rated 1 Gbps. The adapter draws power from the host port, so verify your device can supply sufficient current for continuous operation.
