USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet adapter

This adapter converts a USB 3.1 Type-C port into an RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet connection. It suits laptops, tablets and the Nintendo Switch that lack a built-in wired network port. The aluminium housing and TPE cable keep the unit light at .02 kilograms. No external power supply is required for operation.

10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 port

The single specification that decides fit is the integrated RJ45 port supporting 10, 100 and 1000 Mbps bandwidth. If your workflow demands a stable wired link at up to 1000 Mbps, this adapter provides it. Buyers who need multi-gigabit speeds beyond 1000 Mbps or additional ports will not find them here.

Sustained throughput with passive cooling

Under continuous load the aluminium body acts as a heatsink, dissipating heat without a fan. The compact dimensions of 2.07 x .81 x .6 inches allow it to sit alongside other cables without blocking adjacent ports. Performance remains consistent during long transfers because the passive design avoids thermal throttling.

Questions about this item

What real-world speed does the 1000M bandwidth deliver when the adapter is plugged into a USB 3.1 Type-C port?

The integrated RJ45 port negotiates at 10M, 100M or 1000M, so a Gigabit link runs at up to 1000 Mbps provided the host USB 3.1 connection and network infrastructure both support that rate.

Which USB standard does the Type-C connector use, and what throughput ceiling does that impose on the Ethernet link?

The adapter uses a USB 3.1 Type-C interface, which provides enough bandwidth for the full 1000M Ethernet rate and also allows reversible plugging.

Will the 2.07 x 0.81 x 0.6 inch aluminium body fit alongside other ports on a crowded laptop edge?

The slim 2.07 x 0.81 x 0.6 inch aluminium housing is designed for tight port spacing and adds only 0.02 kilograms, so it sits next to adjacent connectors without blocking them.
