StarTech.com USB Ethernet Adapter USB 3.0 14.5 cm Black 1000Mbps Network Speed

StarTech.com USB Ethernet Adapter, 1000 Mbps Network Speed, USB 3.0 USB Specification - USB31000SPTB

This USB Ethernet adaptor provides a simple way to add wired network connectivity to computers with a USB Type-A port. It converts a USB 3.0 host Interface into a Gigabit RJ45 link, enabling high-speed LAN access for systems that lack an integrated Ethernet socket. The unit is supplied in black and is Compact for use alongside portable and stationary equipment.

Features and Benefits:

• Supports 1000Mbps throughput for high-bandwidth data transfers
  USB 3.0 Interface reduces host‑side bottlenecks during large transfers
  USB Type‑A connection ensures compatibility with common ports
  CE and RoHS compliance indicates adherence to safety and material limits
  Compact cable length improves cable management and desk tidiness

Applications

• Suitable for connecting industrial PCs to factory networks
  Ideal for programming PLCs that require stable wired links
  Used with test benches that need deterministic Ethernet performance
  Can be used for laptop diagnostics where Wi‑Fi is unsuitable
  Used for desktop systems without an integrated RJ45 port

Will it work immediately after plugging into a modern workstation?

Many operating systems support the device natively via USB 3.0 drivers, enabling immediate network access when the appropriate host drivers are present.

What colour and form factor should I expect on the bench?

The unit is finished in black and includes an attached cable measuring 14.5 cm for a Compact footprint.

Is this suitable for tasks requiring consistent gigabit link speed?

The adaptor is designed to present a 1000Mbps link to the network, providing sustained throughput when paired with compatible switches and cabling.

What USB connector type is required on the host device?

A USB Type‑A receptacle is required on the host to establish both data connection and power from the USB 3.0 interface.
