USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

This USB 3.0 to RJ45 adapter adds a wired network port to laptops and desktops that lack one or have a failed onboard controller. It suits mobile professionals, Chromebook users and anyone needing a stable link without opening the chassis. The aluminium housing fits in a pocket or briefcase for travel.

Gigabit Ethernet performance

The adapter delivers full 10/100/1000 Mbps throughput over a USB 3.0 link rated at up to 5 Gbps, so wired speeds are not bottlenecked by the bus. It remains backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports, though throughput will fall to the host port limit. Buyers who need multi-gigabit or 10 GbE rates should choose a different class of adapter.

Driver-free installation

Plug the adapter into any USB-A port and the operating system loads the required driver automatically on Windows 10 through XP, macOS 10.6 through 10.13, Linux kernel 2.6 or 3.x and Chrome OS. No software download or configuration step is needed. The only common issue is a loose cable connection if the RJ45 clip is damaged or the port is worn.

Questions about this item

What real-world Ethernet speed does the USB 3.0 link actually deliver?

The adapter negotiates at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps; on a USB 3.0 port the gigabit rate is fully usable, while a USB 2.0 port will restrict throughput to that port's maximum.

Which USB standard does the male Type-A plug use and what bandwidth ceiling does it impose?

The plug is USB 3.0, providing up to 5 Gbps of host bandwidth; it also works in USB 2.0 and 1.1 sockets at their lower speeds.

Does the adapter need a separate mounting bracket or external power supply?

No. It draws power from the USB port and its compact aluminium case plugs directly into any USB Type-A socket without brackets or cables.
