USB 2.0 Ethernet adapter for basic networking

This USB 2.0 to RJ45 adapter adds a 10/100 Mbps wired connection to computers that lack an onboard Ethernet port. It draws power from the USB bus and supports Windows 98SE through Windows 8, Linux and MacOS. The device suits small offices, home offices and mobile users who need simple file, printer or Internet sharing.

Sustained throughput limited by USB 2.0 bandwidth

The adapter conforms to IEEE802.3 and IEEE802.3u standards, delivering 10Base-T at 20 Mbps full duplex and 100Base-TX at 200 Mbps full duplex on the wire. Because the host link is USB 2.0, actual sustained transfer tops out at 100 Mbps. It operates reliably from 0 °C to 45 °C at 10–90 % humidity with no condensation.

100 Mbps ceiling decides fit for purpose

The single specification that determines suitability is the 100 Mbps maximum transfer rate over USB 2.0. Buyers who need gigabit or multi-gigabit throughput cannot use this adapter. It is not for systems without a USB 1.1 or 2.0 port, nor for environments hotter than 45 °C.

Questions about this item

How much heat or power does the adapter draw when running all day?

The adapter uses USB bus power and operates between 0 °C and 45 °C with 10–90 % humidity, so it stays cool during continuous use.

What must I already own for this adapter to work?

You need a device with a USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 port running Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, XP, Vista 32-bit, Win7 32-bit, CE 5.0/6.0, Linux, MacOS or Win 8.

Will the 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 port slow down my older 10Base-T hub?

No, the adapter auto-negotiates 10 or 100 Mbps full duplex and complies with IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u, so it works with legacy 10Base-T equipment.
