USB-C Gigabit network adapter

The STARTECH US1GC30W adds a wired RJ45 port to laptops, MacBooks and Chromebooks that only have USB-C sockets. It supports 10/100/1000 Mbps networks and draws power from the bus so no external supply is needed.

Upgrade from Wi-Fi or missing port

When wireless is unstable or the device has no Ethernet jack, this adapter provides a native gigabit link using the Realtek RTL8153 chipset. The jump is worth it for large file transfers, video calls or any task that needs consistent low latency.

Fits USB-C, Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4

Plug-and-play on Windows 7 and up, Windows Server, macOS 10.14 and up, Linux kernel 4.11 LTS and Chrome OS. Compact white housing weighs .2 units and leaves other ports free for peripherals or power.

Questions about this item

Does the US1GC30W need an external power supply or does it draw power from the USB-C port?

The adapter is USB bus-powered, drawing all required power directly from the host USB-C port with no external supply needed.

Is any driver installation required before the adapter works on Windows or macOS?

The device uses the Realtek RTL8153 chipset for native plug-and-play operation; no driver install is required on Windows 7 and up, macOS 10.14 and up, or Linux kernel 4.11 LTS and up.

Will the RJ45 port or cable connector wear out and need replacement over time?

The RJ45 port is a standard passive connector; only the Ethernet patch cable may need replacement if its latch breaks or conductors fatigue.
