USB Type-C to RJ45 Ethernet Adapter Dell D59GG Gigabit Ethernet

The Dell D59GG USB Type-C to RJ45 Ethernet adapter provides a simple way to add a wired Gigabit Ethernet port to laptops, tablets and other devices with a USB-C connector. Compact and lightweight, the adapter enables stable wired network access with speeds up to 1 Gbps, reducing latency and improving connection reliability compared with typical wireless links. It connects directly to a USB-C port and presents a standard RJ45 jack for use with Ethernet cables, allowing immediate integration into office networks, home routers and wired infrastructure while avoiding internal hardware changes.

Advantages

The adapter offers plug-and-play convenience on compatible systems, delivering up to gigabit-class throughput for file transfers, video conferencing and low-latency applications. Its compact form factor is easy to carry and does not require additional power sources. The rigid housing and integrated cable design minimise strain on the connector and maintain consistent performance in desktop and mobile setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting a laptop or tablet to a wired office network
• Video conferencing and streaming where a stable connection is required
• Temporary or permanent wired setups in hotels, meeting rooms and home offices
• Environments with limited or unstable Wi‑Fi where a wired link is preferred

Key specifications

• Interface: USB Type-C host connection, RJ45 network port
• Network speed: Up to 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Compatibility: Devices with a USB-C port supporting data transfer
• Form factor: Compact dongle design with short integrated cable
• Power: Bus-powered via USB-C, no external power adapter required

How to use

Plug the USB Type-C connector of the adapter into an available USB-C port on your device and connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port. The adapter is recognized automatically by most modern operating systems; once connected, configure network settings as needed in your system network preferences. For best performance, use Cat5e or higher cabling and connect to a Gigabit-capable switch or router.

Recommendations

For reliable Gigabit performance, use high-quality Ethernet cable rated Cat5e or Cat6, avoid excessive cable bends near the adapter, and ensure the host device’s USB-C port supports data transfer rather than being limited to power delivery only.
