Direct USB-C to Ethernet Cable

This ten-foot braided cable connects a USB-C port directly to an RJ45 jack without a separate adapter. It suits laptop, tablet and phone users who need a wired gigabit link for streaming, gaming or large file transfers. The integrated chipset enables plug-and-play operation on most compatible computers and mobile devices.

Thermals Noise and Power Draw

The cable draws no external power and does not deliver power to the host device, so it adds no measurable heat or fan noise to the system. Its passive design means zero watts of additional draw beyond the negligible signalling current of the USB-C port. The braided nylon jacket provides physical durability without affecting thermal behaviour.

Gigabit Speed and Thunderbolt Compatibility

Rated at 1000 megabits per second over CAT6 wiring, the link saturates a standard gigabit Ethernet port for 4K streaming and fast downloads. The cable is compatible with Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 5 ports as well as regular USB-C data ports. It does not support Power over Ethernet or any power-delivery profile.

Questions about this item

How do I install the USB-C to RJ45 cable and what step is often missed?

Plug the USB-C end into a Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C port that supports data; the RJ45 end clicks into the network jack. The step people miss is confirming the host port carries data — some USB-C ports are power-only.

What maintenance or replacement will this cable need over time?

The braided nylon jacket and aluminium connectors resist wear, but the RJ45 latch can fatigue after repeated unplugging. If the latch no longer clicks securely, replace the cable to keep a reliable link.

What limit appears first during sustained 1000 megabits per second transfers?

The CAT6-rated conductors and integrated chipset are specified for 1000 megabits per second; that throughput ceiling is reached before any thermal or signal-quality limit on a 10 foot run.
