StarTech External Network Card NIC USB 3.0 to 1 Gigabit Port

The USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter, USB31000S allows you to add an RJ45 Ethernet port to a USB-equipped computer, and offers support for connecting Gigabit networks with maximum bandwidth, unlike USB 2.0 adapters.

This compact and portable USB 3.0 network adapter is compatible with older USB 2.0/1.x computers (speed limited by the USB bus) making it ideal for use as a replacement adapter or as an accessory for laptops. Additionally, with support for features such as Jumbo Frames, VLAN tagging and Wake on LAN (WOL), the adapter provides a versatile Gigabit solution for both home and business users.

The USB31000S USB 3.0 Gigabit Network Adapter comes with a 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support backed by StarTech.com.
