StarTech 1GPD3-USB-C-ETHERNET - USB-C to Ethernet Adapter, Grey

The StarTech USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter with 100W PD Pass-Through provides a wired network connection for laptops and desktops. It adds an Ethernet port to computers that lack one, using a standard USB Type-C interface. The adapter connects to local networks via an RJ-45 port and supports data transfer speeds of up to 1000 Mbit/s. Built to the USB 3.2 Gen 1 specification, the host connection provides sufficient bandwidth for Gigabit networking.

The adapter is plug-and-play, requiring no manual driver installation, and is powered directly via the USB connection. Its housing weighs 24.7 grams, making it easy to carry. The integrated 0.15-metre cable allows for flexible positioning and reduces strain on the computer port. Built-in LED indicators show the network link and data transmission status. The device is compatible with Windows 7 through 11, Windows Server, macOS 10.11 to 14, and Linux.

• 100W Power Delivery pass-through charges the host device while the network connection remains active.
• Jumbo frame support up to 9000 bytes optimizes large data packet transfers on compatible networks.
• VLAN tagging (IEEE 802.1Q) enables integration into segmented corporate IT environments.
• Wake-on-LAN support allows system administrators to remotely wake or boot devices for updates and maintenance.
• Full-duplex operation with Auto-MDIX handles bidirectional data traffic and automatic cable crossover detection.
