Two-Pack USB-C Gigabit Adapter

This two-pack provides a USB-C to RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet adapter in gray for devices lacking a built-in network port. Each unit weighs 1.3 ounces and uses an aluminum case for heat dissipation. It targets users who need a reliable wired connection on laptops, tablets or consoles with a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port.

Check Port and Cable Requirements

Verify your device has a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port and that the port supports data, not just charging. To reach the rated 1000 Mbps speed you must use a CAT6 or higher Ethernet cable and insert the adapter fully. Windows 7, XP, Vista and Linux require a driver download; Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, macOS, Chrome OS, iPadOS and Android are driver-free.

Replaces Wi-Fi or Missing Port

The adapter upgrades a wireless-only or port-less setup to a stable gigabit wired link for large downloads, gaming on Nintendo Switch, Switch OLED or Steam Deck, and docking-station use. The jump is worth it when Wi-Fi is congested, latency matters or the device has no Ethernet jack. It does not suit buyers who need more than one simultaneous wired connection per adapter.

Questions about this item

Does the 2-pack include any cables or do I need to buy CAT6 Ethernet cables separately?

The package contains two USB-C to RJ45 adapters only. To reach the 1000 Mbps headline speed you must supply your own CAT6 or higher Ethernet cables.

Which adapter should I choose if I need driver-free use on Windows 11 and macOS?

Both EQ01 units are identical; they work without extra drivers on Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8 and macOS, while Windows 7, XP, Vista and Linux require a Realtek driver download.

What does the 1Gbps rating mean when I plug this into a Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch?

The adapter negotiates up to 1 Gbps with a CAT6 cable, but the actual throughput will be limited by the console's USB-C implementation and network conditions.
