High speed internet on any USB-C laptop
The Plugable USB C Ethernet Adapter (USBC-TE1000) is a great choice for users to add Gigabit Ethernet to their computer via USB Type-C. Built on the Realtek RTL8153 chipset, this adapter is capable of speeds of 10/100/1000Mbps for fast, stable Ethernet access. Measuring in at 1.8in x 1in x .5in (4.6cm x 2.3cm x 1.3cm), the small, compact size is great for travel and flexible flat cable allows the adapter to adapt to your workspace.
This adapter provides a true plug and play experience without the need for additional driver installation. This makes the USBC-TE1000 a perfect match for macOS, Windows 11 and 10, iPhone 15 / Pro / Pro Max, and ChromeOS.
Common uses include:
- Adding wired gigabit network support to Windows, macOS, ChromeOS systems
- Replacing or upgrading existing network adapters
- Replacing Wifi adapters
Please note, this adapter is NOT a solution for connecting USB devices like printers, hard drives, etc to a network. This adapter cannot be used to share Ethernet, WiFi, or data between multiple devices. This adapter cannot be used for (PXE).
High-Speed Performance
A wired connection can provide increased stability and speed versus WiFi, and provide a better experience for streaming, gaming, and other network activities.
(Exact speeds are dependent upon factors like the speed of your service, and network equipment.)
Improved Chipset
Inside the USBC-TE1000 is a Realtek RTL8153 chipset for fast 10/100/1000Mbps network speeds and works with almost all USB-C 3.1, 3.0, and 2.0 hosts.
Plug and Play
Driverless installation makes for a great plug and play experience. You can immediately start using your adapter without any downloads or installs. Perfect for systems that require driver approval.
Flexible Flat Cable
The adapter is equipped with a flat, printed circuit cable that allows for a small footprint and flexibility. The compact and easy to use flat profile enables the adapter to hug surfaces and take advantage of tight spaces. This means the cable itself is more sturdy and less prone to breakage from bending like traditional, round, copper cables.
