Network Cable Goobay 74380 USB 3.0 Type A RJ45 3m White

The Goobay 74380 is a 3 m network cable that connects a router, modem or network switch to a USB-A port on a laptop or tablet. It combines a USB 3.0 Type A plug with an RJ45 connector and includes a smart chip in the USB plug so the cable provides Ethernet access without a separate RJ45-to-USB adapter or additional drivers. Nickel-plated contacts and a white finish offer reliable connectivity and a discreet appearance for home or office setups.

Advantages

This USB 3.0 Type A to RJ45 cable provides a straightforward wired Ethernet connection for devices that lack a built-in RJ45 port. The integrated smart chip replaces bulky adapters and enables immediate network access without installing extra drivers. A 3 m length gives flexibility in placement, and nickel-plated contacts improve durability and signal reliability.

Suitable for

• Connecting laptops or tablets with USB-A ports to routers, modems or network switches
• Establishing a stable wired connection for streaming, video calls or file transfers
• Temporary or semi-permanent network setups in home and small office environments

How to use

Plug the USB 3.0 Type A connector into the USB-A port of your laptop or tablet and connect the RJ45 plug to your router, modem or network switch. The built-in smart chip negotiates the network connection so Ethernet should become available without installing additional drivers. Position the cable as needed within its 3 m length to achieve the desired device placement.

Recommendations

For best performance, connect to a Gigabit-capable router or switch and avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable. If your device has both USB-A and native Ethernet ports, use the native Ethernet for highest stability; otherwise this cable offers a reliable wired alternative for USB-A–only devices.
