The StarTech.com ST3300U3S is a USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet NIC Network Adapter with an integrated 3-port USB 3.0 hub. This device is designed for business and IT professionals who need to expand connectivity options on laptops, desktops, or other host systems lacking sufficient ports. It provides a dedicated RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port, enabling full 10/100/1000Mbps network access, which can be beneficial for systems with damaged network ports or those requiring an additional wired connection.
Beyond network connectivity, the adapter adds three SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports, supporting data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps. These ports are suitable for connecting external storage, peripherals, or for charging mobile devices. The ST3300U3S is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.x devices and can operate with or without the included external power adapter, offering deployment flexibility. It supports features like Jumbo Frames, VLAN tagging (except on Mac OS), and Wake on LAN, making it a functional solution for various network and peripheral expansion needs.
The ST3300U3S USB 3.0 Gigabit Network Adapter turns a single SuperSpeed USB 3.0 host connection port into an RJ45 Gigabit network port as well as three additional USB 3.0 hub ports.
Unlike a USB 2.0-based adapter, this USB 3.0-based NIC lets you connect to your home or office network at full Gigabit bandwidth, with support for 10/100/1000Mbps. Plus, with support for features such as Jumbo Frames, VLAN tagging and Wake on LAN (WoL), this versatile network adapter offers a comprehensive Gigabit network solution.
On top of Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, the adapter also adds three USB 3.0 hub ports to your system, which allow you to connect external storage or other USB peripherals locally to the host computer. The hub ports support USB 3.0 speeds of up to 5 Gbps, as well as fast charging for mobile devices (e.g. iPhone®, iPad® and most Android™ devices).
Backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.x standards, the Gigabit Adapter/USB 3.0 hub will still support older USB devices and can also be used with an older system that does not have USB 3.0 ports (network speed limited by USB 1.x/2.0 bus), allowing you to mix and match USB 3.0/2.0/1.x devices. For further portability, the adapters can be used with or without the included external power adapter, eliminating the hassle of having to find an available wall outlet.
Backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
