StarTech.com USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

Gigabit EthernetUSB-C, 5 GbpsDriverlessWake-on-LAN

The StarTech.com US1GC30B2 is a USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet adapter that adds a 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 port to a laptop, tablet or desktop through a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3/4 port. It is designed for business users and IT departments who need a reliable, driverless wired connection on modern USB-C devices.

It runs on USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) with the ASIX AX88179A chipset, is bus powered and installs without drivers on Windows, macOS, Chrome OS and Linux. It supports Wake-on-LAN, 802.1Q VLAN tagging, 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet and jumbo frames up to 9K, and comes in a space gray ABS housing with a 30 cm attached cable.

Before you order: It needs a USB-C port with data. Jumbo frames are not supported on macOS.

What's in the Box

  • 1 x StarTech.com US1GC30B2 USB-C network adapter with 30 cm attached cable
  • No network cable is included

What It Means in Practice

  • Plug in and get Gigabit wired networking without installing drivers on Windows, macOS, Chrome OS or Linux
  • The 30 cm cable lets the adapter lie flat on the desk instead of hanging from the port
  • Wake-on-LAN and VLAN tagging support managed corporate networks
  • Jumbo frames up to 9K can speed up large transfers to NAS and servers on Windows and Linux networks configured for them

What Will Not Work

  • It does not pass through charging, so it occupies the USB-C port while in use
  • It will not fit USB-A ports without a separate adapter
  • Jumbo frames do not work on macOS
  • It will not exceed 1 Gbps on a 2.5GbE switch
