Network Card EXSYS EX-1321 Ethernet 1000 Mbit/s

The EXSYS EX-1321 is a wired USB-to-Ethernet adapter that provides a 10/100/1000 Mbps network connection via a USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 port and is also backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1. The compact metal-cased device supports bus-powered operation and can be installed without opening the host system; it includes a Din-Rail kit and wall-mount options for installation in a 19-inch rack or industrial environments. The adapter uses the ASIX AX88179 chipset and provides LED indicators for power and Ethernet status.

Advantages

The EX-1321 delivers Gigabit Ethernet speeds over a USB connection while supporting full and half duplex modes with IEEE 802.3x flow control and back-pressure control. It supports Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az), Wake-on-LAN, crossover detection and auto-correction, and a USB 3.0 screw lock cable mechanism for secure connections. Its metal housing and included mounting kits make it suitable for both desktop and industrial rack installations without requiring internal system access.

Suitable for

• Connecting notebooks or desktop computers to 10/100/1000 Mbps wired networks via USB
• Adding an additional Ethernet port alongside an existing network card
• Installing network connectivity in 19-inch racks or industrial DIN-rail environments

How to use

Connect the EX-1321 to a host device using a compatible USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 port; the adapter draws power from the USB port and does not require an external power supply. Attach an Ethernet cable from the network switch, router or wall outlet to the adapter’s RJ45 port. For rack or DIN-rail installation, mount the included kit to the metal case and secure the adapter in the 19-inch rack or on the DIN-rail. Install any required drivers if the host operating system does not automatically recognize the ASIX AX88179 chipset.

Recommendations

Use a USB 3.0 host port and a Cat5e or higher Ethernet cable to achieve stable Gigabit performance; ensure drivers are up to date and use the USB screw-lock feature in environments where vibration may loosen connections.
