Compact USB 3.0 Gigabit Adapter

This TRENDnet TU3-ETG adapter adds a Gigabit Ethernet port to a computer through a USB 3.0 Type-A connection. It supports IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE-T compliance for up to 1Gbps connection speeds and Full Duplex 2Gbps transfer rates over the USB 3.0 interface. The compact white dongle measures 2.80" x 1.00" x 0.60" and weighs 0.90 oz with a 5 in cable length. It is USB powered and includes a driver CD-ROM for installation.

Windows and Mac Users with USB-A Ports

The adapter suits users running Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7 or Mac OS 10.13 and earlier 10.1 versions who need a wired network link on a device with an available USB-A port. It supports Wake on LAN in suspend mode for remote management convenience. Buyers using Mac OS 10.14 or newer should look elsewhere because this model does not support those operating system versions. Systems without a USB-A interface cannot use this adapter without an additional connection method not provided here.

USB 3.0 Type-A Interface Requirement

The single specification that decides fit is the USB 3.0 Type-A male connector on the adapter. Your host device must present a matching USB-A receptacle to accept the plug directly. While the adapter is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports per the listed standards, the maximum data rate of up to 2Gbps full duplex requires a USB 3.0 connection to be achieved. Verify the port type on your hardware before purchase.

Questions about this item

What USB port does the TU3-ETG need to plug into?

The adapter uses a USB 3.0 Type-A male connector and requires an available USB 3.0 Type-A port on the host computer.

Which driver step is often missed during setup?

The package includes a CD-ROM with drivers; installing that driver before connecting the adapter is the step most users skip.

When will the TU3-ETG stop working with macOS upgrades?

The adapter does not support Mac OS 10.14 and above, so a future macOS upgrade past 10.13 will require a different Ethernet solution.
