SKU CH-S6Q4-MPEEK

Three USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet adapters add RJ45 ports with Realtek RTL8153 chipset, 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds, and cross-platform driver support

  • Gigabit wired networking through a USB 3.0 port
  • REALTEK RTL8153 chipset delivers stable 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds
  • Driver-free on Windows 8.1 and 10; simple install on older systems
  • Wake-on-LAN and IEEE 802.3az support for managed power efficiency
  • Three adapters included for multiple devices or spare units

Three-pack USB 3.0 Gigabit adapters

This three-pack provides three USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet adapters, each adding a standard RJ45 port to a laptop, ultrabook or desktop. The REALTEK RTL8153 chipset delivers 10/100/1000 Mbps wired connectivity and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1. The set suits users who need reliable wired links on multiple devices or want a spare for travel.

Check USB port and OS compatibility

Verify that each target machine has a free USB-A port and runs a supported operating system. Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 work driver-free; Windows 7, Vista, XP, Mac OS 10.5 through 10.12 and Linux require a one-time driver install. Windows RT and Android are not supported, so devices on those platforms cannot use the adapters.

Aluminium housing with 15 cm cable

Each adapter uses an aluminium casing that aids heat dissipation during sustained transfers. A short 15 cm integrated cable reduces strain on the host USB port and keeps the RJ45 connector close to the device. The plug-and-play design after driver setup supports Wake-on-LAN, IEEE 802.3x flow control and IEEE 802.3az energy-efficient Ethernet for everyday wired networking.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy any cables separately?

The box contains three USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet adapters. Each adapter has a built-in RJ45 port so you can plug in a standard Ethernet cable you already own; no extra cables are included.

Which version should I choose if I need 1000 Mbps on a MacBook running macOS 10.12?

All three adapters are identical and support 10/100/1000 Mbps with the RTL8153 chipset, so any unit from the pack will deliver 1000 Mbps on macOS 10.12 after the required driver installation.

What does the 1000 Mbps figure mean when the adapter is connected to a USB 3.0 port?

The USB 3.0 interface provides up to 5 Gbps bandwidth, which is more than enough for the adapter to sustain full 1000 Mbps Ethernet throughput in real-world use.
