  • Plug-and-play design works instantly with no drivers needed

USB-C Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

The StarTech US1GC30B2 adds a wired RJ45 network port to any device with a USB-C connector. It is aimed at laptop users, tablet owners and compact desktop builders who need a stable gigabit link without opening the chassis. The dongle draws power from the host port and requires no external supply.

Gigabit RJ45 Performance

The adapter negotiates a full 1 Gbps connection over standard Cat5e or better cabling. This single throughput figure determines whether the dongle matches the speed of your internet plan or local file transfers. No faster or slower Ethernet modes are advertised in the supplied data.

Plug-and-Play Integration

The USB-C interface carries both data and power so the adapter works immediately on supported operating systems without driver installation. It occupies one USB-C slot and leaves all other ports free for peripherals, displays or charging. The compact housing adds minimal bulk to a travel kit or desk setup.

Questions about this item

What does the gigabit rating mean when the adapter is connected to a laptop?

The adapter supports up to 1 Gbps Ethernet throughput, so file transfers and streaming run at full wired speed when the network and switch also operate at gigabit.

Which USB standard does the USB-C connector use and what bandwidth limit does it impose?

The USB-C plug follows the USB 3.1 Gen 1 specification, capping the link at 5 Gbps, well above the 1 Gbps Ethernet ceiling.

How much space does the dongle need beside the USB-C port to sit flush?

The compact housing extends roughly 30 mm beyond the port, leaving room for adjacent connectors on most ultrabooks and tablets.
