Gigabit USB-C Network Adapter

The Cable Matters 201113 adapter adds a wired 1000Mbps Ethernet port to laptops, tablets and desktops that only have USB-C or Thunderbolt connectivity. It targets remote workers, IT staff and anyone who needs a stable link for large file transfers, video calls or secure network access where Wi-Fi is unreliable or unavailable.

Plug-and-Play Build Integration

The adapter draws power from the host port and requires no external supply, freeing a mains socket and keeping cable runs short. Its aluminium housing dissipates heat during sustained throughput, while the braided pigtail resists fraying in a travel bag. Driver support spans Windows, macOS, Linux, Chrome OS and iOS, so the same dongle moves between workstation, home office and meeting-room devices.

Upgrade From Wi-Fi Or Missing Port

Users moving from wireless-only connections gain lower latency, consistent 1000Mbps throughput and Wake-on-LAN plus PXE boot support for managed deployments. It also replaces older USB-A dongles on modern machines that lack Type-A sockets. Not suitable for Nintendo Switch owners or anyone needing multi-gigabit speeds beyond the single gigabit link this model provides.

Questions about this item

Will the aluminium housing keep the adapter cool enough during continuous 1000Mbps transfers?

The aluminium body acts as a heatsink and the braided pigtail adds thermal mass, so the adapter stays within safe temperatures during sustained Gigabit traffic.

What is the maximum power the adapter draws from the host port?

It draws only the small amount required for the Ethernet controller, well within the standard USB-C port budget, so no extra power supply is needed.

Does the host device need a Thunderbolt or USB-C port that carries data, not just charging?

Yes, the port must support data transfer — Thunderbolt 3, 4 or 5, USB4 or any USB-C data port — a charge-only port will not work.
