USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

This CableCreation adapter adds a wired RJ45 network port to any device with a USB 3.0 socket. It delivers a more stable connection than wireless for gaming or work tasks. The adapter suits laptops, desktops and Macs that lack a built-in Ethernet port or have a damaged one.

5 Gbps USB 3.0 interface limit

The USB 3.0 link caps throughput at 5 Gbps, so the 1000 Mbps Ethernet rate cannot be exceeded. Backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and 1.1 reduces speed to those bus limits. Driver installation is required for Windows 7, Vista, XP, Mac OS and Linux, while Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 are driver-free.

1000 Mbps maximum network speed

The adapter negotiates 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps Ethernet and supports full-duplex and half-duplex modes with IEEE 802.3x flow control. It does not work with Windows RT or Android devices. Buyers who need multi-gigabit rates beyond 1000 Mbps cannot use this adapter.

Questions about this item

Should I use the USB 3.0 port or will a USB 2.0 port work for this adapter?

The adapter is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports, but 1000 Mbps speeds need a USB 3.0 connection to reach full performance.

What real-world network speed will I see with the 1000 Mbps rating?

It supports 10, 100 and 1000 Mbps Ethernet links; actual throughput depends on your router, cabling and USB host controller but the adapter handles full Gigabit rates.

Does the USB 3.0 interface limit the Gigabit Ethernet port in any way?

USB 3.0 provides up to 5 Gbps bandwidth, so the 1000 Mbps Ethernet port runs at line rate without being capped by the USB link.
