Portable USB 3.0 Gigabit Adapter

The TRENDnet TU3-ETG adds a Gigabit Ethernet port to any desktop, MacBook or notebook with a USB 3.0 socket. It weighs 25 grams and includes an attached 12.7 cm cable for easy placement. The adapter draws power from the USB port so no external supply is needed. It suits users who need wired networking on devices that lack a built-in RJ45 jack.

USB 3.0 and Backward Compatibility

A SuperSpeed USB 3.0 connection enables Full Duplex 2 Gbps transfer rates while the adapter also works with older USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports at reduced speed. Supported operating systems include Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7 and Mac OS from 10.6 through 10.15. The compact design frees up desk space and leaves other USB ports available for peripherals.

Sustained Full Duplex Throughput

Under continuous load the adapter maintains Gigabit line rate in both directions thanks to the USB 3.0 bus bandwidth. It does not throttle during long file transfers or streaming sessions. Buyers who need 2.5 Gbps or 5 Gbps Ethernet, USB-C connectivity or multi-port expansion should consider other models.

Questions about this item

Does the 12.7 cm attached USB cable limit placement when the adapter runs continuously?

The short 12.7 cm cable keeps the adapter close to the host port, so desk layout must accommodate that fixed reach during all-day use.

How warm does the TU3-ETG get and does it draw extra power when transferring at gigabit rates all day?

The adapter is USB powered with no external supply; it runs cool under normal loads and draws only the 5 V bus power allowed by the USB 3.0 port.

Which operating-system versions must already be installed for the TU3-ETG to work without extra drivers?

Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7 and Mac OS 10.6 through 10.15 are supported natively; no separate driver download is required for those releases.
