LUOM SLMU101 USB 3.0 Gigabit Adapter

The LUOM SLMU101 is a USB 3.0 to RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet adapter that adds a wired network port to laptops and desktops through a standard USB Type-A connection. It operates at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1. The compact dongle includes a 5 in cable and supports IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3ab standards.

Suited for Wired Network Upgrades

This adapter suits users who need a stable Gigabit Ethernet link on devices lacking a built-in RJ45 port, such as ultrabooks, tablets, or systems with a failed onboard controller. It works driver-free on Windows 2000 through 8.1, Mac OS 10.6 or higher, Chrome OS, and Linux. It is not for buyers who require support for Windows RT, Android, or Nintendo Switch, Wii, or Wii U consoles.

USB 3.0 Type-A Upstream Interface

The single specification that decides fit is the upstream USB 3.0 Type-A port; the host must provide this exact interface for the adapter to function at its rated 5 Gbps bus speed and deliver full 1000 BASE-T performance. Systems with only USB-C, Micro-USB, or proprietary docking connectors cannot use this unit without an additional converter not included here.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the SLMU101 is delivering Gigabit speeds after plugging it in?

Check the network adapter status in your OS; it should report a 1000 Mbps link speed when connected to a Gigabit router or switch with a Cat 6 cable.

Does the SLMU101 include an Ethernet cable or only the adapter itself?

The box contains the USB 3.0 to RJ45 adapter with its 5 in. cable; a Cat 6 Ethernet cable for the RJ45 port is sold separately.

Should I choose this SLMU101 model or a USB 2.0 version for my USB 3.0 port?

The SLMU101 uses USB 3.0 for up to 5 Gbps bandwidth, enabling full 1000 BASE-T performance; a USB 2.0 adapter would limit you to 10/100 Mbps.
