QNAP USB 4 Type-C to 1 x 10GBASE-T Network Ad Ethernet 10000 Mbit/s

The QNAP USB 4 Type-C to 1 x 10GBASE-T Network Adapter (QNA-UC10G1T) provides stable 10GbE wired connectivity via a USB Type-C/USB4 or Thunderbolt 3/4 port, enabling high-speed networking on computers without built-in network ports. Its compact, silver metal housing and fanless design deliver a portable, low-noise solution for expanding network performance up to 10 Gbit/s.

Advantages

This adapter includes a 1 m USB 4 cable for broad interface compatibility and supports multiple operating systems (Windows®, macOS®, Linux®) with driver installation. Multi-Gigabit support (10/5/2.5/1 GbE) ensures compatibility with varied network environments. The fanless construction reduces noise and maintenance while providing reliable long-term operation. The silver metal finish offers a professional look that fits modern setups.

Suitable for

• Adding 10GbE connectivity to laptops and desktops without an onboard RJ45 port

How to use

Connect the adapter to your computer using the included 1 m USB 4 cable plugged into a USB4 or Thunderbolt 3/4-capable Type-C port. Use an RJ45 cable (Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6a or above) to connect the adapter to a 10GbE switch, NAS or other 10GbE device; an SFP+ DAC cable may be used where appropriate. Install the required driver for your operating system if prompted, then configure network settings in your OS as needed.

Recommendations

For optimal 10 Gbit/s performance, use Cat 6a or higher cabling for typical copper-based 10GbE runs. Ensure the host computer’s Type-C port supports USB4 or Thunderbolt 3/4 for full compatibility, and keep drivers up to date for stable multi-system operation.
