USB 2.0 wired network adapter

This compact converter adds a standard RJ45 port to devices that lack onboard Ethernet. It connects through a USB 2.0 Type A female socket and is aimed at thin notebooks, mini PCs and embedded boards needing a reliable wired link.

10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet over USB 2.0

The adapter is limited to 100 Mbps maximum throughput because it uses the USB 2.0 bus. Actual speed will not exceed this ceiling, making it unsuitable for multi-gigabit infrastructure or high-bandwidth local transfers.

All-in-one moulded construction

The single-piece housing keeps the RJ45 plug and USB connector aligned, reducing strain from cable weight. A Cat5 or higher cable is recommended to maintain signal quality during daily carry and long-term use.

Questions about this item

Should I pick this 10/100Mbps adapter or look for a Gigabit model?

Choose this adapter when your device only has USB 2.0 ports and you need a simple wired connection for everyday tasks; a Gigabit model would require USB 3.0 to reach higher speeds.

What does the 100Mbps rating actually deliver on a USB 2.0 port?

The USB 2.0 bus limits real-world throughput to below the 100Mbps Ethernet ceiling, so sustained transfers run slower but remain sufficient for web browsing, video calls and typical file copies.

Does the USB 2.0 interface cap the Ethernet speed in practice?

Yes, the USB 2.0 connection restricts actual network performance to well under the 100Mbps Fast Ethernet maximum, making Cat5 or better cabling the practical limit for this adapter.
