  • Changer TypeOther
  • Reliable wired streaming at 1 Gbps speeds

Portable wired networking for USB-C devices

The CableCreation adapter adds a gigabit RJ45 port to laptops and tablets that only have USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 connectors. It targets mobile professionals and home users who need a steadier, lower-latency link than Wi-Fi for streaming, browsing or large file transfers. Compatible devices include MacBook Pro models from 2016 to 2019, MacBook Air 2018, iPad Pro 2018, Surface Book 2, XPS 13 and 15, Spectre x360 13 and 15, Yoga 900, 910 and 920, ThinkPad P50 and P70, and Galaxy S10, S9, Note 8 and Tab S4 or S3 tablets.

Aluminium housing with plug-and-play simplicity

The aluminium shell keeps the adapter light and compact enough to carry in a laptop sleeve without adding bulk. No driver installation is required on macOS, Windows 10 or Linux; the connection becomes active as soon as the adapter is inserted. The single RJ45 jack accepts standard Ethernet cables and the USB-C plug fits Thunderbolt 3 ports as well as regular USB-C ports.

Passive cooling and bus-powered operation

Because the unit draws power directly from the host port, there is no external power brick to carry. The metal body acts as a heatsink, so the adapter runs silently during typical 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps traffic. It is not suited for users who need multi-gigabit speeds beyond 1 Gbps or who require additional USB ports on the same dongle.
