DeLOCK FPC Flat Ribbon Cable USB Type-A to Gigabit LAN 10/100/1000 Mbps 13 cm

The DeLOCK FPC Flat Ribbon Cable USB Type-A to Gigabit LAN is a compact adapter that expands a PC or laptop by one Ethernet interface via a USB Type-A port. With a cable length of 13 cm and support for 10/100/1000 Mbps, it enables wired network connectivity for devices without a built-in RJ-45 port. The cable combines a black and silver design with a flat, flexible construction for convenient placement in tight spaces.

Advantages

The flat ribbon cable uses a Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) instead of conventional copper conductors, which provides exceptional flexibility while maintaining robustness. The adapter supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1000 Mbps over an RJ-45 connector and connects directly to a USB Type-A port, offering a simple plug-and-play network extension for computers and laptops.

Suitable for

• Adding wired Ethernet to ultrabooks or laptops without RJ-45 ports
• Connecting desktop PCs to a network when internal ports are unavailable
• Temporary or permanent cable routing in confined or low-clearance spaces
• Use with routers, switches or network outlets supporting Gigabit Ethernet

How to use

Insert the USB Type-A plug into an available USB port on the computer. Connect the RJ-45 plug to a network cable or directly to a network socket.

Position the flat ribbon cable as needed to route it through narrow gaps or behind devices.

Recommendations

For reliable Gigabit performance, use Cat5e or higher quality Ethernet cables and ensure the connected network equipment supports 1000 Mbps. Avoid excessive bending or sharp folds at the connector ends to preserve the FPC cable integrity.
