Compact dual-band Wi-Fi adapter

The STARTECH USB433ACD1X1 adds 802.11ac wireless connectivity to a laptop, tablet or desktop through a USB 2.0 port. It supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands with maximum data rates of 433 Mbps on 5 GHz and 150 Mbps on 2.4 GHz. The adapter works with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012, 2016 and Mac OS X 10.6 to 10.12.

Nano form factor for permanent use

The nano-sized housing measures 0.30 by 0.60 by 0.90 inches and weighs 0.01 lb, so it stays nearly flush with the USB port. A single USB-A male connector provides the host interface, allowing the adapter to remain plugged in during transport without snagging. No external antenna or additional cables are required.

Low-power operation within standard limits

Operating temperature range is 0 to 40 degrees C (32 to 104 degrees F) with 10 to 90 percent relative humidity. The USB 2.0 interface supplies all necessary power, so there is no separate power adapter and no active cooling fan. Power draw remains within the standard USB port current budget during typical wireless activity.
