Vszerda UC164 USB-C to RJ45 Gigabit network connector

SKU CH-WVB6-2VSMQ

A USB-C to RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet adapter providing a stable wired connection for file transfers, video calls and streaming

  • Plug-and-play Gigabit Ethernet for USB-C devices
  • Stable wired connection replaces unreliable wireless
  • Supports file transfers, video calls, gaming and HD streaming
  • Compact design with non-slip grip and braided nylon cable
  • Aluminium casing improves heat dissipation during use

USB-C Gigabit adapter for thin laptops

This USB-C to RJ45 adapter adds a wired 100/1000 Ethernet port to devices that lack one. It targets MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, Surface Pro, XPS and similar USB-C ultraportables. The plug-and-play design requires no driver installation on supported systems. A braided nylon cable and aluminium housing improve durability and heat dissipation.

Gigabit throughput with USB 3.0 headroom

The adapter negotiates 100 or 1000 Mbps Ethernet over a USB 3.0 link, giving enough bandwidth for large file transfers, video conferencing, gaming and HD streaming. Wireless drop-outs are eliminated because the connection is wired. Performance tops out at the Gigabit Ethernet ceiling, so multi-gigabit or 10 GbE networks cannot be saturated.

USB-C port required for operation

The single deciding specification is a USB-C receptacle that carries USB 3.0 data signals. Devices with USB-A only, or USB-C ports limited to USB 2.0 or power delivery, will not achieve Gigabit speeds or may not work at all. Buyers needing a second Ethernet port or a built-in mounting bracket should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will the UC164 work with my 2017 MacBook Pro that only has USB-C ports?

Yes, the adapter is listed as compatible with MacBook Pro 2017, 2018 and 2019 models. It connects through the USB-C port and provides a Gigabit Ethernet link without needing drivers.

How can I confirm the adapter is running at Gigabit speed after I plug it in?

Open your system network settings and check the link speed; it should show 1000 Mbps when connected to a Gigabit router or switch. The adapter negotiates 100 or 1000 Mbps automatically.

Does the package include an Ethernet cable or do I need to buy one separately?

Only the adapter itself is included — a braided-nylon USB-C to RJ45 dongle with an aluminum casing. You will need to supply your own Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable.
