What this adapter does

The CableCreation USB-C to Ethernet adapter delivers a 5 Gbps wired network link through a single USB-C port. It targets laptop owners whose devices lack a built-in RJ45 jack and who need faster throughput than a standard gigabit connection can provide.

Check your hardware first

Your broadband plan must exceed 5 Gbps, the router must output a 5 Gbps port, and the Ethernet cable must be CAT6A or better. The host port must be USB 3.2 or higher; Windows 11 and Linux kernel 5.17 require a driver download, while macOS 15 and above works plug-and-play.

Build and daily use

An aluminium shell and reinforced PVC cable resist bending stress, while a plug-resistant connector reduces wear from frequent insertion. A status LED shows link activity at a glance, and the Realtek RTL8157 chip keeps power draw and heat low during sustained transfers.

Questions about this item

Does the adapter ship with any cables or drivers, or do I need to buy a CAT6A cable and download the driver separately?

The package contains only the 5Gbps USB-C to Ethernet adapter. A CAT6A or higher Ethernet cable must be purchased separately, and the driver must be downloaded and installed for Windows 11 and Linux Kernel 5.17.

Which USB-C port standard on my laptop is required to reach the 5Gbps headline speed?

The host port must be USB 3.2 or higher; Thunderbolt 3, 4 or 5 ports also meet this requirement.

What real-world conditions are needed before the adapter can actually deliver a 5Gbps wired link?

Your broadband plan must exceed 5Gbps, the router or modem must output 5Gbps, a CAT6A or better cable must be used, the laptop port must be USB 3.2 or higher, and the driver must be installed on Windows 11 or Linux Kernel 5.17.
