WHY CHOOSE THIS PRODUCT?

• Adds Gigabit LAN without hardware modification Provides an external Ethernet interface for systems lacking a built-in RJ45 port, avoiding internal hardware changes.
• Uses USB 3.0 bandwidth for Gigabit networking The 5 Gbps USB interface provides ample host-side bandwidth for the adapter's Gigabit Ethernet capability.
• Supports enterprise-relevant networking functions VLAN tagging, Wake-on-LAN, Auto-MDIX and jumbo frames make it more useful than a basic USB-to-LAN dongle.
• Broad deployment compatibility Support across Windows, Windows Server, macOS, Chrome OS and supported Linux environments helps simplify mixed-device deployments.
• No separate power supply required USB bus power reduces cable count and simplifies deployment for mobile and desk-based users.
• Portable aluminum construction The compact 26 g aluminum adapter is suitable for IT teams supporting laptops and mobile workstations.
