Goobay 74378 Cable Gender Changer USB 3.0 Type A RJ45 1.5m White

Goobay 74378 is a 1.5 m USB 3.0 Type A to RJ45 cable gender changer that connects a router, modem or network switch to the USB-A port of a laptop or tablet. The white cable has nickel-plated contacts for enhanced durability and stable signal transfer, providing a compact Ethernet solution for USB-A devices without a native RJ45 port.

Advantages

The integrated smart chip inside the USB-A plug removes the need for a separate RJ45-to-USB adapter and allows immediate Ethernet access without additional drivers. USB 3.0 support offers higher throughput compared with USB 2.0, and the 1.5 m length gives flexibility for typical desk and workstation setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting a laptop or tablet with a USB-A port to a wired network
• Extending USB-A connectivity to an RJ45 network device
• Temporary or semi-permanent network setups in offices or home environments

Key specifications

• Connector 1: USB 3.0 Type A
• Connector 2: RJ45

How to use

Plug the USB-A connector into the USB-A port of your laptop or tablet and connect the RJ45 plug to a router, modem or network switch. The built-in smart chip handles the interface conversion; in most systems Ethernet will become available automatically. If necessary, check the operating system network settings to ensure the USB Ethernet adapter is enabled.

Recommendations

Use the cable for wired network connections when Wi‑Fi is unstable or unavailable. Avoid sharp bends and heavy tugging; keep connectors dry and clean to maintain reliable performance. For critical installations, confirm driver compatibility with your operating system and test network throughput before deployment.
