USB-C Gigabit Adapter for Thunderbolt Devices

This compact adapter adds a 1Gbps RJ45 port to any USB-C device that supports Thunderbolt 3 or 4. It targets laptop and tablet users who need a stable wired link when Wi-Fi is unreliable or unavailable. Driver-free operation means it works immediately on supported macOS, Windows and ChromeOS systems. The 1Gbps ceiling is backward compatible with 100Mbps and 10Mbps networks.

Braided Cable and Aluminium Housing

A braided nylon lead resists tangling and daily wear while the aluminium shell dissipates heat during sustained transfers. The non-slip grip eases insertion and removal even on crowded ports. The connector profile is shaped to avoid blocking neighbouring USB-C sockets on thin ultraportables. No external power is required for operation.

CAT6 Cable Needed for Full Speed

Maximum 1Gbps throughput is only achieved with CAT6 or higher Ethernet cables; slower cables will limit the link to 100Mbps or 10Mbps. The package contains only the adapter itself, so buyers must supply a suitable patch cable. There is no bundled configuration software or utility. Users who need multi-gigabit or fibre connectivity must look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

What speed does the USB-C interface cap the Ethernet connection at?

The adapter delivers up to 1Gbps over USB-C and is backward compatible with 100Mbps and 10Mbps networks; use CAT6 or higher cables to reach the full rate.

What physical clearance does the adapter need beside the USB-C port?

The compact aluminium body and braided cable are designed to avoid blocking adjacent USB-C ports on devices such as MacBook Pro 13/15/16, Dell XPS 13/15/17 and iPhone 15 Pro/Max.

Does the adapter need a driver install on macOS or Windows?

It is driver-free on macOS, Windows, ChromeOS, iPadOS and iOS — just plug the USB-C connector into the host and the RJ45 cable into the network for an immediate link.
