Micro USB wired networking adapter

This adapter adds a 10/100M Ethernet port to devices that only have a Micro USB OTG interface. It is built around the Realtek RTL8152 chipset and ships with a 10-inch host cable. Driverless installation is supported on Windows 8.1 or later, Mac OS 10.9 or later, and Android 4.0 or later.

Sustained wired throughput on legacy ports

The 10/100M link caps continuous transfer rates well below gigabit speeds, so large file copies or backups will run slower than on a native gigabit port. The short 10-inch cable keeps the dongle close to the host, reducing strain on the Micro USB connector during extended sessions.

Replaces missing or broken Ethernet on tablets

It upgrades tablets and mini PCs that lack a built‑in RJ45 jack, including listed Samsung Galaxy, Google Nexus, Dell Venue Pro 8, Asus T100taf, Nvidia Shield K1 and Raspberry Pi Zero models. The jump is only worth it when the device shows an Ethernet menu in settings and the user accepts 100M bandwidth limits.

Questions about this item

How much heat or noise does the Realtek RTL8152 chip generate during continuous all-day use?

The adapter has no moving parts and draws minimal power from the host Micro USB port, so it runs silently and stays cool during extended operation.

Which host port must my device already have for this adapter to work?

Your device needs a Micro USB OTG port that supports host mode; the 10-inch cable plugs directly into that port.

Will this adapter work alongside my older Android 4.0 tablet that still uses a Micro USB connection?

Yes, it supports Android 4.0 and up, and the supplier lists compatibility with older models such as the Galaxy S2, S3, S4 and Nexus 7 when an Ethernet menu appears in settings.
