USB 3.2 Gen 1 C to Ethernet Adapter Exsys EX-13020HMV 1 Gbps

The Exsys EX-13020HMV USB 3.2 Gen 1 C to Ethernet Adapter provides a straightforward solution for adding 1 Gbps wired network connectivity to devices with a USB-C port. Designed for laptops, tablets and compact PCs that lack a built-in RJ45 interface, the adapter converts the USB-C connection to a standard Ethernet port, enabling stable wired LAN access for high-bandwidth tasks such as streaming, large file transfers and network management.

Advantages

This adapter delivers gigabit Ethernet performance over a USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface, offering reduced latency and consistent throughput compared with typical wireless connections. The compact, bus-powered design requires no external power source and installs without complex configuration on most modern operating systems. Its standardized RJ45 connector supports common Ethernet cabling and provides a reliable physical link for secure and uninterrupted network access.

Suitable for

• Connecting ultraportable laptops and tablets to wired office or home networks
• Streaming high-definition media and video conferencing with reduced packet loss
• Transferring large files or performing backups over a stable LAN
• Network configuration, diagnostics and administration tasks

Key specifications

• Interface: USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C (host side) to RJ45 (network side)
• Network speed: 1 Gigabit per second (1000 Mbps)
• Power: Bus-powered via USB-C port; no external power adapter required
• Compatibility: Designed for devices with USB-C ports and support for USB 3.0/3.1/3.2 Gen 1 host interfaces
• Physical: Compact form factor suitable for mobile use; standard RJ45 socket for Cat5e/Cat6 cabling

How to use

Connect the adapter’s USB-C plug to the device’s USB-C port and attach an Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port. Most modern operating systems will recognize the adapter automatically and install any necessary drivers; if required, follow the device or system prompts to complete driver installation. After the connection is established, configure network settings in the operating system as needed—DHCP is typically used for automatic address assignment, or enter static IP settings if your network requires them.

Recommendations

Use Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables to achieve the full 1 Gbps performance and place the adapter where it will not be subject to repeated bending or strain on the USB-C connector. For secure network access in managed environments, verify any required network authentication or proxy settings before relying on the adapter for critical tasks.
