USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet NIC Network Adapter
StarTech ID: USB31000S
The USB31000S USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter adds a single RJ45 Ethernet port to a USB-enabled
computer system, with support for Gigabit network connections at full bandwidth, unlike USB 2.0 adapters.
This compact USB 3.0 network adapter is backward compatible with older USB 2.0/1.x computer systems (speed
limited by USB bus), making it the ideal portable replacement network adapter or laptop accessory. Plus, with
support for features such as Jumbo Frames, VLAN tagging and Wake on LAN (WOL), the adapter offers a versatile
Gigabit network solution for home and business users alike.
The USB31000S USB 3.0 Gigabit adapter is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical
support.
