Portable 4-Port Gigabit Switch

The Cable Matters USB-C Ethernet switch combines a Gigabit USB-C adapter with a four-port Ethernet switch in one bus-powered unit. It connects a laptop or tablet that lacks a built-in RJ45 port to a wired network while providing three additional RJ45 ports for other devices. The adapter suits mobile professionals and temporary workspaces where cabled connectivity is required.

Single-Cable Desktop Integration

The switch draws all power from the host USB-C connection, removing the need for an external power supply or extra cables. One uplink runs over USB-C at up to 1000 Mbps, while the four RJ45 ports operate at 10/100/1000 Mbps for downstream devices. A drawstring pouch and adhesive strap support both permanent desk mounting and travel use.

Sustained Traffic Handling

Jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes reduce per-packet overhead during prolonged transfers. Full-duplex operation and auto-sensing maintain consistent throughput across all active ports without negotiated speed drops. The unmanaged Layer 1 design forwards frames at wire rate, so extended backups or streaming sessions do not introduce latency spikes.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum packet forwarding rate the unmanaged switch can sustain under continuous load?

The switch forwards packets at up to 1000 megabits per second, which is the rated forwarding capacity for sustained traffic.

Does the fanless desktop switch generate noticeable heat or noise when operating all day?

With no moving parts and passive cooling, the unit runs silently and stays at a low temperature during extended use.

What host device must already be available to power and operate the USB-C Ethernet switch?

A laptop, tablet or USB-C wall charger with an available USB-C port is required to supply bus power and enable the four RJ45 connections.
