SMUGDESK USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter with 3-Port USB 3.0 Hub

SKU CH-63BN-7VYF7

Adds a Gigabit RJ45 port and three USB 3.0 ports to Type-C or USB-A devices for wired networking and fast peripheral connections

  • Wired 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet beats wireless latency
  • Three USB 3.0 ports transfer data at 5Gbps
  • Works with USB-C and USB-A hosts
  • Driver-free plug-and-play on Windows, macOS, Chrome OS
  • Compact hub adds LAN and USB ports simultaneously

USB-C Gigabit Ethernet hub for port-limited laptops

This compact adapter adds a wired RJ45 network port and three USB 3.0 sockets through a single Type-C connection. It targets users of thin-and-light notebooks or desktops that lack built-in Ethernet and have few USB-A ports. The bundled USB-A converter lets the same hub work with older USB-A hosts as well. Plug-and-play operation requires no driver installation on supported systems.

Passive cooling with zero fan noise

The aluminium-bodied hub dissipates heat passively, so it adds no audible noise to a quiet workspace. Power for the Ethernet controller and the three downstream USB 3.0 ports comes entirely from the host port, drawing only the current the host can supply. Wired 10/100/1000Mbps connectivity avoids the latency spikes and interference common with wireless links. Stable throughput benefits video calls, large downloads and competitive gaming sessions.

USB-A converter extends host compatibility

The included Type-C to USB-A adapter lets the hub plug into legacy USB-A ports while keeping all four downstream ports active. Each USB 3.0 port delivers up to 5Gbps bandwidth for flash drives, external SSDs, keyboards or mice. No bundled software or management utility is supplied; the device relies on native OS drivers across Windows, macOS and Chrome OS. This keeps setup simple but offers no advanced configuration options.

Questions about this item

How do I install the adapter and which step do users often miss?

Connect the supplied USB-A adapter to the hub’s Type-C plug, then insert the assembly into your host port; the step users miss is attaching that adapter before plugging into a USB-A socket.

What maintenance or replacement will the hub need later?

No scheduled maintenance is required; if the RJ45 port or any USB 3.0 port becomes physically damaged, replace the whole unit.

What limit appears first during sustained heavy transfers?

The 5Gbps USB 3.0 bandwidth shared across the three ports saturates before the 1000Mbps Ethernet link.
