USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

The CableCreation USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter adds a standard RJ45 port to a laptop or ultrabook via a USB-A 3.0 connection. It supports 10/100/1000 Mbps network speeds and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1. The white adapter weighs 0.04 kilograms and includes driver-free setup for Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, macOS and Chrome OS.

Compatibility and driver requirements

This adapter suits users with USB-A 3.0 ports who need a wired Gigabit connection for stable streaming, downloads or gaming in Wi-Fi dead zones. It also works with Nintendo Switch. Buyers whose devices only offer USB-C ports cannot use this adapter without a separate hub or cable. Windows 7, XP, Vista and Linux users must download drivers from the manufacturer website. Windows RT and Android systems are not supported.

Deciding specification

The single specification that decides fit is the USB-A 3.0 host interface combined with driver-free support for Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, macOS and Chrome OS. If your device lacks a USB-A port or runs an unsupported OS such as Windows RT or Android, this adapter will not work.

Questions about this item

Does the adapter need a separate power supply or does it draw power from the USB 3.0 port?

It draws all power from the USB 3.0 port; no external supply is required.

Do I need to install a driver before plugging it into a Windows 11 laptop?

No driver is needed on Windows 11 — the adapter is recognised automatically when inserted.

Will the RJ45 port wear out if I plug and unplug the Ethernet cable every day?

The port is rated for repeated insertion cycles; normal daily use will not cause premature wear.
