USB-C Gigabit Ethernet adapter
The Monoprice 147063 adapter adds a wired RJ45 network port to laptops, tablets, smartphones or gaming devices that lack one. It connects through a USB-C socket and draws all required power from that port so no external supply is needed. Driver-free operation is supported on Windows, macOS, Chrome OS and Android systems.
Sustained wired throughput
Gigabit Ethernet delivers 1000 Mbps bandwidth for stable streaming, gaming, video calls and large file transfers without the latency or drop-outs common on wireless links. Because the adapter is bus-powered, continuous throughput depends on the host USB-C port maintaining its rated current output under load. Thermal throttling in the host or cable resistance can reduce real-world speed over long sessions.
USB-C port constraints
The adapter requires a USB-C port that implements data and power delivery to the USB 3.1 Gen 1 or later specification; ports limited to USB 2.0 signalling will not reach Gigabit rates. It cannot add Ethernet to devices whose USB-C connector carries only power or video alt-modes. Buyers needing multiple simultaneous wired links or link aggregation should consider a multi-port dock instead.

Questions about this item
Does the 147063 adapter run hot or draw much power when it stays plugged in all day?
It is powered entirely by the USB-C port with no external adapter needed, so heat and power draw stay minimal during continuous use.
What port must my laptop already have for this 147063 adapter to work?
Your device needs a USB-C port; the adapter plugs directly into it and requires no extra cables or drivers for Windows, macOS, Chrome OS or Android.
Will the 147063 adapter work alongside my older Cat 5e patch cables and 100 Mbps switch?
Yes, the Gigabit Ethernet port auto-negotiates down to 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps, so existing Cat 5e cables and slower switches work without changes.
