Product Description

The RCT ADP-GN101CU USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter with USB-A Converter is designed for users who require a stable wired network connection from a compatible USB-C or USB-A device.

The adapter connects directly through its USB-C host connector and provides an RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port. It is suitable for compatible laptops, desktop computers, ultrabooks, mini PCs and workstations that do not have a built-in Ethernet port.

For devices equipped with a USB Type-A port, the included USB-C to USB-A converter allows the network adapter to connect to a compatible USB-A interface. For the best available network performance, the connected USB-A port should support USB 3.0 SuperSpeed.

A wired Ethernet connection can provide a practical alternative in locations where Wi-Fi is unavailable, congested or unstable. This makes the adapter suitable for online meetings, office network access, large file transfers, streaming and other network-dependent activities.

Its compact and lightweight design makes it practical for permanent workstation use or carrying with a laptop and other mobile accessories.

Plug-and-play operation is supported on compatible operating systems and devices. Driver availability and automatic installation may depend on the operating system, device configuration and security settings.

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

Compatibility Note

Check that the connected laptop, desktop computer or other device supports USB network adapters before ordering.

For USB-A use, connect the adapter through the included USB-C to USB-A converter. For the best available performance, the USB-A port should support USB 3.0 SuperSpeed.

Gigabit Ethernet performance depends on the connected computer, USB interface, network cable, router, 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.

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 manufacturer driver.

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