Network Card D-Link DUB-1312 Internal Ethernet 1000 Mbit/s

The D-Link DUB-1312 USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter adds wired gigabit network connectivity to a desktop, notebook, or netbook via a USB 3.0 port. It provides up to 1 Gbps Ethernet performance without opening the computer for an internal card, offering a compact black design that is easy to carry.

Advantages

The adapter enables gigabit wired speeds up to 1 Gbps through a USB 3.0 connection, allowing fast file transfers and efficient backups to servers or network storage. It draws power directly from the USB port so no external power supply is required, and includes power-saving suspend/resume functionality to reduce consumption when idle. The compact, pocketable design and automatic driver installation on supported Windows systems simplify setup and portability.

Suitable for

• Adding wired Ethernet to laptops or netbooks that lack an Ethernet port
• Providing a reliable wired connection for desktops without using an expansion slot
• Transferring large files or performing network backups at gigabit speeds

Recommendations

For best performance, use a USB 3.0 port and quality Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable. Enable system power-management settings that allow USB suspend/resume if you want to conserve battery on portable devices. If automatic driver installation is blocked on Windows XP, follow the on-screen prompts to allow installation.
