USB 2.0 wired network adapter for laptops

The Tripp Lite U236-000-R adds a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port to any device with a USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 socket. It is aimed at users who need a wired connection where no internal card can be fitted, such as ultra-thin notebooks or gaming consoles lacking wireless hardware.

Maximum throughput limited to 100 Mbps

The adapter complies with IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u standards, so the link negotiates at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps full-duplex or half-duplex. USB 2.0 signalling at 480 Mbps provides enough bus bandwidth to sustain the wire-speed Ethernet rate without bottlenecking the connection.

Bus-powered design draws all current from the USB

No external power supply is required and the adapter supports suspend mode with remote wake-up via magic packet or link-up. Power consumption stays within the USB 2.0 port budget, so heat output is negligible and the unit runs silently in normal use.
