Wired Connectivity for USB-C Devices

This USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet adapter adds a wired RJ45 network link and a USB-A pass-through port to laptops that lack built-in Ethernet. It draws power from the host port and requires no external supply. The white housing matches light-coloured ultrabooks and tablets.

Upgrade from Wireless or Missing Ports

The adapter replaces unreliable Wi-Fi or a missing Ethernet jack with a stable 10/100/1000 Mbps link that supports IEEE 802.3 standards and 9K jumbo frames. The jump is worth it when low latency, full duplex throughput or VLAN tagging are needed for managed networks.

Single-Port Hub for Travel or Docking

One USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port gains both Gigabit Ethernet and an extra USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A socket for a mouse, drive or dongle. Native driver support in Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS means plug-and-play operation without software installation.
