  • Adds Gigabit Ethernet through a USB 3.0 port
  • Backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1

USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

The ESTONE adapter adds a 10/100/1000 RJ45 port to any computer with a USB 3.0 Type-A socket. It complies with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u and 802.3ab standards and supports Energy Efficient Ethernet. The device is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 hosts.

Suits laptops lacking a wired port.

Windows 2000 through 10 and Mac OS 10.6 or higher are supported. The adapter works well for replacing a failed onboard NIC or adding a second routable interface. Buyers running Windows RT, Android, Wii, Wii U or Nintendo Switch should look elsewhere because those platforms are not supported.

Includes a 6 ft Cat 6 cable for immediate use

The bundled cable removes the need to source a separate patch lead. Its length suits typical desk-to-router or desk-to-switch runs. No driver disc or configuration utility is mentioned in the supplied data.

Questions about this item

Does my computer need a USB 3.0 Type A port to use this adapter at full speed?

Yes, the upstream port is USB 3.0 Type A for gigabit throughput; it will fall back to USB 2.0 or 1.1 at lower speeds.

Can I keep using my older Cat 5e patch cables with the RJ45 port?

The downstream port is a standard RJ45 jack compatible with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u and 802.3ab, so existing Cat 5e cables will work at their rated speeds.

Which LED behaviour shows the gigabit link is active after I plug it in?

The adapter follows IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet; a steady link light on the RJ45 port indicates a negotiated 1000 Mbps connection.
