Key benefits - High speed wired connection: USB to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter supports up to 2.5 Gbps (2500 Mbps), 2.5x faster than 1 Gbps Ethernet, and is backwards compatible with 10/100/1000 Mbps networks. - Robust network features: Wake-on-Lan (WoL), Full-Duplex (FDX) and Half-Duplex (HDX) Ethernet, Auto Crossover Detection, IPv4/IPv6 protocols, and IEEE 802.3/IEEE 802.3u/IEEE 802.3ab/IEEE 802.3az/IEEE 802.3bz (Energy Efficient Ethernet). - Portable and convenient: Slim, compact and lightweight design makes the USB RJ45 Ethernet connector easy to carry, ideal for travel. - Reliable performance: Powered by the RTL8156 chip for ultra-fast, stable and secure data streaming. What it does - Provides a fast, reliable wired Ethernet connection via a USB port, enabling high-throughput internet and local network access where wireless performance is insufficient or unavailable. - Supports both legacy and modern networks with full compatibility across common Ethernet standards and IPv4/IPv6. Compatibility and design - Compatible with networks supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps and up to 2.5 Gbps throughput. - Supports Wake-on-Lan (WoL), Full-Duplex and Half-Duplex operation, Auto Crossover Detection, IPv4/IPv6, and IEEE 802.3/802.3u/802.3ab/802.3az/802.3bz standards (Energy Efficient Ethernet). - Slim, compact and lightweight design for portable use. Performance and components - Integral RTL8156 chip delivers ultra-fast, stable and secure data streaming. - Optimized for reliable performance across compatible devices and networks. Use scenarios - On the go connectivity: Use with laptops or ultrabooks lacking a wired Ethernet port to access fast and stable wired networks in hotels, airports, or conference venues. - Home or office upgrades: Replace or supplement Wi-Fi with a fast wired connection for video conferencing, large file transfers, or online gaming where a stable, low-latency link is desired. - Travel and work setups: Pair with portable docking stations or travel setups to achieve consistent wired Ethernet performance without bulky adapters.
