Why choose it

The aluminum housing dissipates heat efficiently and protects the internal chipset, ensuring consistent performance during prolonged transfers. The 15-metre cable gives you freedom to position your device far from the network switch or router without signal loss, and the USB 3.0 interface delivers up to 1 Gbps throughput for smooth video streaming, large file transfers, and low-latency online gaming.

Ideal use cases

• Adding a wired network port to ultrabooks or tablets with only USB-A ports
• Replacing a broken onboard Ethernet port on a desktop PC
• Setting up a temporary workstation in a conference room or lab
• Connecting POS systems, kiosks, or industrial PCs to a wired LAN
• Extending network reach in large homes or offices where Wi-Fi is unreliable

Good to know

The adapter is bus-powered, so no driver installation is required on most modern operating systems—just plug it in and the system recognises it automatically. The cable is flexible yet durable, and the aluminum connector housing resists corrosion. For best performance, pair with a Cat5e or higher Ethernet cable.
