Adesso AUH-5000 USB-C network connector Gigabit aluminum LED

SKU CH-ESDG-YV7A5 MPN AUH-5000

Adds Gigabit Ethernet to USB-C devices via a plug-and-play aluminum adapter with an LED indicator

  • Gigabit Ethernet speed for fast file transfers and video calls
  • Aluminium alloy case gives a premium feel and stable connection
  • Plug-and-play setup with no drivers needed on Windows 10/11 and Mac OS 10.9+
  • Works across Windows 8/10/11, Mac, Chrome OS and Linux
  • LED indicator shows link status at a glance

USB-C Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

The Adesso AUH-5000 adds a wired Gigabit Ethernet port to laptops and tablets that only have USB-C. It suits remote workers, students and anyone needing a stable connection for video calls or large file transfers. The aluminium alloy case gives a solid feel for daily carry.

Gigabit throughput and driver-free setup

The adapter delivers up to 1 Gigabit per second for downloads, streaming and backups. Real-world speed will drop below that ceiling on congested networks or older cabling. No drivers are required for Windows 10, 11, Mac OS 10.9+, Chrome OS or Linux; Windows 8 needs a driver.

Passive cooling and bus power

The metal housing acts as a heatsink so the adapter runs silently without a fan. It draws power directly from the USB-C port, adding no extra cable or brick. An LED indicator shows link status and activity at a glance.

Questions about this item

Will the AUH-5000 work alongside my older USB-A laptop if I use a USB-C to USB-A adapter?

The AUH-5000 requires a native USB-C port for Gigabit Ethernet; a USB-C to USB-A adapter will limit the connection to the USB-A port's maximum speed, not the adapter's Gigabit capability.

How do I confirm the AUH-5000 is delivering a Gigabit link after plugging it in?

The LED indicator on the aluminum case lights up to show an active network link; verify the connection speed in your OS network settings to confirm Gigabit operation.

Does the AUH-5000 package include a USB-C cable or do I need to buy one separately?

The AUH-5000 has a built-in USB-C connector, so no separate cable is required; the box contains only the adapter itself.
