Advantages

• Connecting a router or modem to a laptop or tablet via USB-A
• Linking a network switch to a device lacking a native RJ45 port
• Temporary or semi-permanent wired network setups where a 2 m cable is sufficient

How to use

Plug the USB 3.1 Type A connector into the USB-A or compatible port of your computer or adapter and insert the RJ45 plug into the Ethernet port of your router, modem or switch.
