The StarTech.com USB-C Ethernet Adapter with Extra USB 3.0 Port (STC US1GC301AUW) is a portable connectivity solution designed for business and IT professionals. This adapter utilizes a laptop's USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port to provide a Gigabit Ethernet connection, addressing the common issue of modern ultra-portable devices lacking a built-in Ethernet port. It supports 10/100/1000Mbps auto-detection and adheres to IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3ab standards, enabling fast access to network resources. Additionally, it features an integrated USB 3.1 Gen 1 (Type-A) port, allowing users to connect an extra peripheral device, such as a mouse, thereby mitigating the limitation of a single USB-C port on some systems. The adapter offers native driver support for Chrome OS, Windows, and macOS, facilitating quick setup without manual driver installation. Its compact, bus-powered design makes it suitable for mobile use with devices like MacBooks, Chromebooks, and Windows laptops.
This USB-C Ethernet adapter connects you to a Gigabit network through the USB-C™ or Thunderbolt™ 3 port on your laptop or desktop computer and adds connectivity for an additional USB (Type-A) peripheral device. It's a great companion for your MacBook, Chromebook or Windows® laptop with an available USB-C port.

Trouble-Free Connections Through USB-Type-C
