USB-C Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

The Tripp Lite U436-06N-GB adds a wired network port to laptops and tablets that only have USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 connections. It suits mobile professionals who need a stable link when wireless is unreliable or unavailable.

10/100/1000 Mbps performance

The adapter delivers full gigabit throughput without requiring an internal Ethernet card. Speeds scale down to 10 or 100 Mbps on slower networks, but the single port caps total bandwidth at 1000 Mbps.

Plug-and-play reversible connector

The USB-C plug inserts either way and works instantly on Windows, Mac and Chromium systems with no driver installation. Backward compatibility lets it run on older USB ports, though throughput will follow the host port's limit.

Questions about this item

Will this adapter work with my older USB-A laptop if I use a USB-C to USB-A cable?

It is backward compatible with previous USB generations, so the adapter will function when connected through a suitable USB-C to USB-A cable.

How can I confirm the link is running at gigabit speed after I plug it in?

Check the network status on your Windows, Mac or Chromium device; it should report a 1000 Mbps connection when the Ethernet cable is linked to a gigabit port.

Does the package include an Ethernet cable or do I need to supply my own?

Only the adapter itself is included; a standard Ethernet cable must be purchased separately to complete the wired connection.
