Description
1. Connector Type
- USB-C (male): Plugs into the USB-C port on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone).
- RJ45 Ethernet port (female): Provides a standard Ethernet connection to your router or network switch.
2. USB Standard
- USB 3.0 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1): Supports data transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbps.
- Backward compatible with USB 2.0 (though data transfer speed will be limited to USB 2.0 speeds in this case).
3. Ethernet Standards Supported
- 10/100/1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet): The adapter supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) for high-speed wired connections.
- Also compatible with 10/100 Mbps networks, depending on your network’s capabilities.
4. Data Transfer Speed
- Up to 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet): With a Gigabit Ethernet connection, it supports speeds of up to 1000 Mbps.
- USB 3.0 speed: The USB-C to Ethernet adapter will provide USB 3.0 speeds (up to 5 Gbps) for data transfer between the device and Ethernet network.
5. Power Requirements
- Bus-powered: The adapter typically does not require an external power source as it draws power directly from the device’s USB-C port.
- Plug-and-play: No additional drivers are typically needed for most modern operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS), as they support USB Ethernet adapters natively.
6. Compatibility
- Compatible with USB-C devices including laptops, tablets, smartphones, and even game consoles (if supported).
- Works with most modern Windows, macOS, and Linux systems.
- May require special drivers for older operating systems or certain devices.
7. Supported Operating Systems
- Windows: Windows 11,10, 8, 7, and older versions (with drivers).
- macOS: macOS 10.10 and later.
- Linux: Most distributions support USB Ethernet adapters.
- ChromeOS: Supported by most recent versions.
8. Cable Length
- Typically comes with a short cable (around 10-20 cm), but the length can vary depending on the manufacturer.
- No external power or bulky cables are usually required.
9. Durability and Build
- Compact and lightweight: The adapter is typically small, portable, and easy to carry.
- Often made with aluminum or plastic casing to ensure durability.
- Heat dissipation: Many adapters have a design that helps with heat dissipation to prevent overheating during long usage periods.
10. LED Indicator (Optional)
- Some models come with an LED indicator light to show the connection status (green for a stable connection, blinking for activity).
11. Additional Features
- Supports full-duplex communication: Allows simultaneous sending and receiving of data over the network.
- Plug-and-play installation: No need for additional software or configuration in most cases.
12. Maximum Distance (Ethernet Cable Limit)
- The maximum Ethernet cable length is typically 100 meters (328 feet) for Gigabit Ethernet, but this is independent of the adapter itself and refers to the Ethernet cable being used to connect to your router or switch.
13. Portability
- Travel-friendly: Due to its small size, it’s easy to carry and use in various environments, from home offices to coffee shops or airports.
