USB Hub Lindy USB 3.2 Type C Hub and Gigabit Ethernet Converter

The Lindy USB 3.2 Hub and Gigabit Ethernet Converter connects an ultrabook, netbook or tablet to a Gigabit Ethernet network through a USB Type-C port and also provides three additional USB Type-A ports compatible with USB 3.2 / 3.1 Gen 1 / 3.0 devices. The compact, lightweight adapter is bus-powered, requires no external power supply, and is backward compatible with Thunderbolt 3 for use with a wide range of devices including MacBooks.

Advantages

This adapter adds wired Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to devices without an RJ45 port while simultaneously expanding available USB ports with three USB 3.x Type-A connectors. Its small form factor and bus-powered operation make it convenient for travel and everyday use. Backward compatibility with Thunderbolt 3 increases device support.
