USB to Ethernet Adapter USB 3.0 to RJ45 Gigabit Network Adapter 10/100/1000Mbps

Wired Network Connectivity for USB Hosts

The USB to Ethernet adapter adds a Gigabit RJ45 port to any laptop, desktop or tablet through a USB 3.0 Type-A connection. It negotiates 10/100/1000Mbps links automatically and requires no external power supply. The aluminium housing measures 60 x 22 x 15 mm and weighs 32 g with the 150 mm pigtail.

The ASIX AX88179 controller handles USB 3.0 at 5 Gbps and exposes a standard CDC-ECM or RNDIS interface. Driver support spans Windows 7 through 11, macOS 10.9 and later, Linux kernel 3.9 and Chrome OS. The RJ45 socket carries auto-MDI/MDIX crossover detection and 9 KB jumbo frame support.

Wake-on-LAN and IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet reduce idle power draw. Link and activity LEDs sit beside the port, and the USB-A plug folds flat for transport. Operating range spans 0 °C to 40 °C at 10% to 85% relative humidity for office and field use.

Key Features

• USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet
  The AX88179 controller moves data at up to 5 Gbps over USB and 1 Gbps over the RJ45 port.

• Tri-Speed Auto-Negotiation

  • 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T support
  • Auto-MDI/MDIX removes crossover cable requirements
  • 9 KB jumbo frame handling

• Driverless on Major Platforms
  Windows 7 through 11, macOS 10.9+, Linux kernel 3.9+ and Chrome OS load native or bundled drivers.

• Wake-on-LAN Support
  The adapter wakes a sleeping host from a magic packet sent over the wired link.

• Energy Efficient Ethernet
  IEEE 802.3az lowers idle power on the PHY during periods of low traffic.

• Aluminium Housing
  The metal shell measures 60 x 22 x 15 mm and dissipates heat from the controller during sustained transfers.
