Product Description

The RCT ADP-GN401U USB-A Gigabit Ethernet Adapter with 3-Port USB Hub is designed for users who require a stable wired network connection while also expanding the number of available USB ports on a compatible device.

The adapter connects through a USB Type-A port and provides one RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet connection. This makes it suitable for compatible laptops, desktop computers, mini PCs and workstations that do not have a built-in Ethernet port or require an additional wired network connection.

Three USB 3.0 Type-A ports allow compatible peripherals and accessories to be connected through the same compact hub. Supported devices can include keyboards, mice, flash drives, external storage devices, printers and other USB accessories.

The USB 3.0 interface supports high-speed data transfer between compatible connected devices. Actual transfer speeds depend on the host computer, connected peripherals, cables, operating system and system configuration.

A wired Gigabit Ethernet connection can provide a practical alternative where Wi-Fi is unavailable, congested or unstable. It is suitable for online meetings, office network access, file transfers, streaming and other network-dependent activities.

Its compact design makes it suitable for permanent desk use, home-office workstations, business environments and mobile travel setups.

Before ordering, check that the connected device has a compatible USB Type-A port and supports USB network adapters and USB hub functionality.

Compatibility Note

Check that the connected laptop, desktop computer or other device has a compatible USB Type-A port and supports USB network adapters and USB hub functionality.

For the best available network and USB performance, connect the adapter to a USB 3.0 Type-A port. Connecting it to an older USB port may reduce network and data-transfer speeds.

Gigabit Ethernet performance depends on the connected computer, USB interface, Ethernet cable, router, network switch and wider network infrastructure supporting Gigabit speeds.

Actual network performance may be affected by internet service speed, network traffic, operating-system configuration and connected equipment.

USB performance and available power are shared across the three USB ports. High-power external storage devices or other power-intensive accessories may require their own external power source.

Plug-and-play support depends on the operating system and device configuration. Some systems may require automatic driver installation, an operating-system update or a compatible driver.

An Ethernet network cable is required and is not included unless otherwise stated.
