The StarTech.com US1GC301AUW USB-C Ethernet Adapter provides a wired Gigabit Ethernet connection for laptops or desktop computers equipped with a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port. This adapter is designed for IT professionals and business users who require stable network connectivity in environments where Wi-Fi may be unreliable or unavailable. It addresses the common issue of modern ultra-portable devices lacking a built-in Ethernet port, enabling access to large files over a network at Gigabit speeds. Additionally, it includes an extra USB 3.1 Gen 1 (Type-A) port, which can be used to connect an additional peripheral device, such as a mouse, thereby mitigating the limitation of a single USB-C port on some systems. The adapter supports IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3ab standards, with native driver support for Chrome OS, Windows, and macOS, facilitating straightforward setup. Its compact, bus-powered design supports portability.
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.
Powerful Gigabit Network Connections
The USB-C network adapter supports full Gigabit bandwidth by harnessing the performance of USB 3.1 Gen 1. You can quickly access very large files over the network at Gigabit speed.
Native Driver Support Makes Installation Easy
Get up and running quickly. Simply plug the adapter into the USB Type-C™ port on your laptop and connect to your network. The network adapter chipset provides native driver support in Chrome OS™, Windows®, and macOS.
Trouble-Free Connections Through USB-Type-C
The USB-C connector is smaller and easier to use than previous USB connectors. It's a reversible plug so you can connect to your devices with either side facing up, without frustration or the risk of port damage.
With a compact design, this USB-C network adapter is as portable as your laptop, perfect for ultra-portable devices that have a USB-C port, such as the MacBook and Chromebook Pixel™. The network adapter is bus-powered which makes it easy to connect when you're on the go.
Additional Connectivity With an Extra USB 3.1 port
