USB-C to Gigabit Network Adapter with Extra USB 3.0 Port
StarTech ID: US1GC301AU
Now, you can easily connect to a Gigabit network through the USB-C™ or Thunderbolt™ 3 port on your laptop
or desktop computer, and add connectivity for an additional USB (Type-A) peripheral device. This Gigabit
Ethernet (GbE) network adapter provides a reliable network connection without having to install drivers. It’s
ready to go - with native driver support to ensure a quick setup. It's a great companion for your MacBook,
Chromebook Pixel™, Dell™ XPS 12, Dell Latitude 12 7000 Series 2-in-1 or other device.
Powerful Gigabit network connections
The USB-C network adapter supports full Gigabit bandwidth by harnessing the performance of USB 3.1 Gen 1
(5 Gbps). You can quickly access very large files over the network at Gigabit speed.
Native driver support makes installation easy
Get up and running quickly. Simply plug the adapter into the USB Type-C™ port on your laptop and connect to
your network. The network adapter chipset provides native driver support in Chrome OS™ and Windows® 8.1,
and supports Mac OSX (10.10) with driver installation.
Trouble-free connections through USB-Type-C
The USB-C connector is smaller and easier to use than previous USB connectors. It’s a reversible plug so you
can connect to your devices with either side facing up, without frustration or the risk of port damage.
With a compact design, this USB-C network adapter is as portable as your laptop, perfect for ultra-portable
devices that have a USB-C port, such as the MacBook and Chromebook Pixel™. The network adapter is buspowered which makes it easy to connect when you’re on the go.
