StarTech.com USB to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter with USB Port

StarTech.com USB to Gigabit Ethernet adapters add a full Gigabit RJ45 (10/100/1000 Mbps) network connection to computers via a USB-A or USB-C port while providing an integrated USB pass-through or extra USB-A port so you don’t lose peripheral connectivity. These compact, bus-powered adapters leverage USB 3.0 / USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) to deliver full gigabit bandwidth and remain backward compatible with USB 2.0 systems (speed limited by the USB bus). The adapters support advanced networking features found across the product family such as IPv4/IPv6 checksum offload, TCP large send offload, jumbo frame support and VLAN tagging, improving throughput and reducing CPU load. USB-C models are Thunderbolt 3 compatible where indicated and include native driver support on many platforms; all models are designed for portability and use with laptops, ultrabooks, MacBook, Chromebook and other computers with limited onboard ports. Each adapter is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
