Portable wired networking for USB-C devices

The Zebra USB-C Ethernet adapter adds a Gigabit RJ45 port to laptops, tablets and consoles that lack a built-in socket. It draws power from the host and requires no driver on Windows 10 or 11, macOS 10.9 and later, Chrome OS, Linux, iPadOS and Android. The five-inch cable keeps the dongle close to the device without straining the port.

Upgrade from unreliable Wi-Fi or missing Ethernet

The adapter replaces a wireless link or a slower USB 2.0 dongle when a stable wired connection is needed. On a USB 3.0 or newer port it negotiates 1000 Mbps; on USB 2.0 it falls back to 100 Mbps. The jump is worth it whenever low latency or consistent throughput matters more than convenience.

1000 Mbps headroom with CAT6 cabling

The RTL8153B chip delivers full Gigabit speeds provided a CAT6 or better cable is used. Aluminium housing dissipates heat during sustained transfers so performance does not throttle. The single port handles one wired link; devices that need simultaneous connections or multi-gigabit rates will require a different solution.

Questions about this item

How much space does the 5 in cable and 20 mm body need beside my USB-C port?

The adapter has a 5 in cable and a compact 20 mm body, so it only needs a few centimetres of clearance beside the USB-C port on your laptop, tablet or Switch.

Do I need to install any driver before plugging this adapter into Windows 11 or macOS?

No driver is required for Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8 or macOS 10.9 and later; just plug it in and the RTL8153B chip is recognised automatically.

Will the aluminium casing need any thermal paste or fan cleaning over time?

The aluminium housing is passive — no thermal paste, no fan and no user-serviceable parts — so no routine maintenance is needed.
