StarTech.com US1GC301AUW — USB-C Gigabit Ethernet Adapter with USB-A Port, White

Gigabit EthernetUSB-C+ USB-A portWhite

The StarTech.com US1GC301AUW is an USB-C Gigabit Ethernet adapter with USB-A port that adds a wired Gigabit Ethernet port to a laptop, desktop PC, tablet or thin client through its USB-C port. A 5 Gbps USB-A port on the adapter lets a USB-C-only laptop use a mouse, keyboard or flash drive at the same time. It is built on the Realtek RTL8153 + VLI VL817 controller and connects at 10/100/1000 Mbps. It draws its power from the USB port, so there is no separate power supply to carry. A cable connection is the dependable answer when Wi-Fi is weak, crowded or not allowed, when a slim laptop has no network socket, or when backups, large downloads and video calls need a steady, low-latency link.

Compatibility — check before buying:
Check the port: the adapter has a USB-C plug and does not fit USB-A ports; any USB-C data port works, including Thunderbolt 3/4 and USB4 ports. It links at up to 1 Gbps with any standard switch or router port, and Cat5e cable or better is enough. The published macOS list stops at macOS 10.15. It uses a different chipset from the black US1GC301AU. Operating systems listed by StarTech.com: Windows XP/7/8.1/10/11, Windows Server 2016, Linux LTS 3.14 and later, macOS 10.11–10.15, ChromeOS. Not sure it suits your laptop, dock or switch? Tell us the model and we check it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to install a driver?
Supported systems listed by StarTech.com: Windows XP/7/8.1/10/11, Windows Server 2016, Linux LTS 3.14 and later, macOS 10.11–10.15, ChromeOS. Where the system does not load a driver on its own, install the driver from the StarTech.com support page for this model.
Is it faster than Wi-Fi?
A wired Gigabit link gives up to 1 Gbps with steadier latency than most Wi-Fi connections — that is what video calls, remote desktop and large transfers benefit from. Your internet speed still depends on your connection.
Can I use it on a USB-A port?
No, it has a USB-C plug only. For USB-A computers choose StarTech.com USB31000SPTW (USB-A, white).
Does it work through a dock or USB hub?
Usually yes — it is a standard USB network device. For full speed the hub or dock port must be USB 3.x, and bus-powered hubs should have enough power for all connected devices.
