USB-C dual Ethernet adapter with USB-A hub
The StarTech.com US1GC301AU2R adds two Gigabit Ethernet ports and one USB 3.0 Type-A port through a single USB-C connection. It suits laptops such as MacBook, Chromebook Pixel or Dell XPS 12 that lack built-in wired networking. The compact 0.60" x 2.40" x 3.00" enclosure weighs 2.10 oz. A 0.30 ft cable keeps the setup tidy.
Dual RJ-45 ports and a Type-A port
Two RJ-45 female connectors provide 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T compatibility with full-duplex operation and 4K jumbo frame support. The USB 3.0 Type-A female port adds a hub function for an extra peripheral. Auto MDIX removes the need for crossover cables. Wake-On-LAN and VLAN tagging are supported for managed networks.
USB 3.0 5 Gbps bus limits total throughput
The adapter runs on a USB 3.0 bus rated at 5 Gbps while each Ethernet link runs at 2 Gbps full-duplex. Aggregate wired throughput cannot exceed the bus ceiling. Buyers needing more than two wired links or a faster bus should consider a different solution.

Questions about this item
Will the USB 3.0 Type-A port or the dual RJ-45 ports need replacement after heavy daily use?
The adapter has no moving parts; the USB 3.0 Type-A female port and two RJ-45 female ports are solid-state connections rated for standard mating cycles, so no scheduled replacement is required.
Which limit appears first when both Gigabit Ethernet links run at full duplex continuously?
The USB 3.0 bus caps aggregate throughput at 5 Gbps, while each Ethernet port handles 1 Gbps full-duplex (2 Gbps total), so the bus ceiling is reached before the individual 1000BASE-T links saturate.
How much heat or fan noise does the adapter produce when powered all day through the USB-C male connector?
The unit draws power only from the host USB-C port, has no internal fan, and its compact 0.60" x 2.40" x 3.00" aluminium housing dissipates the low wattage silently during continuous operation.
