USB 2.0 to Fast Ethernet adapter

The TU2-ET100 adds a 10/100 Mbps wired network port to any computer with a USB Type A socket. It suits laptops, MacBooks, Chromebooks or desktops that lack an onboard Ethernet jack or need a second connection.

Practical limits of USB 2.0 and 10/100

The link tops out at 200 Mbps full duplex, but the USB 2.0 bus caps real throughput well below that figure. Half-duplex mode and legacy USB 1.1 hosts reduce speed further, so sustained transfers stay in the tens of megabytes per second.

Driver-free install on modern systems

Windows 10 and later recognise the adapter immediately; older Windows releases use the supplied CD-ROM drivers. The 9.6-inch cable keeps the dongle close to the port, avoiding strain on the connector. No external power is required.
