  • Adds four Gigabit Ethernet ports via one USB 3.1 Gen 1 connection
  • Individual DIP switches let you enable or disable each RJ45 port instantly
  • USB 3.1 Gen 1 upstream port delivers up to 5 Gbps bandwidth
  • Supports wall-mount and optional DIN-rail kits for industrial installations
  • Compliant with USB 3.1 Gen 1 and IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab, 802.1Q standards

Four Gigabit ports on USB 3.1 Gen 1

The CG-4P31G1EA adapter adds four RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports to a notebook, desktop, server or thin-client through a single upstream USB Type-C port. Each port operates at 10/100/1000M and can be toggled on or off with a dedicated DIP switch. The unit ships with a wall-mounting kit and supports an optional DIN-rail kit for industrial use. Windows drivers are stored on the device for automatic installation.

Capacity and headroom

Four independent Gigabit links share the 5 Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 1 uplink, so aggregate throughput is limited by that bus when all ports are active at high load. The adapter handles typical file transfers, backups and network-storage access comfortably, but sustained line-rate traffic on every port simultaneously will saturate the upstream connection. Power-saving modes are supported across all USB standards down to 1.1.

USB 3.1 Gen 1 bus constraint

The upstream link conforms to the USB 3.1 Gen 1 specification at 5 Gbps and remains backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 hosts, though total bandwidth drops to the host's maximum in those cases. IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab and 802.1Q compatibility ensures standard Ethernet framing and VLAN tagging. Buyers needing more than four ports or a dedicated PCIe connection should consider alternative expansion methods.

Questions about this item

Will the USB 3.1 Gen 1 upstream port work with my older USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 ports?

The upstream Type-C port is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1, so it will function on older hosts at the lower speed of those standards.

How can I verify each of the four Gigabit Ethernet ports is active after I plug the adapter in?

Each RJ45 port has a built-in DIP switch; flip the switch for a port to enable it and watch the link LEDs light when a live cable is connected.

Does the package include the wall-mounting hardware, and do I need to buy a DIN rail kit separately?

A wall-mounting kit is included; the DIN rail mounting kit is optional and must be purchased separately if required.
