Description

StarTech USB31000S2H Gigabit Ethernet Adapter with USB 3.0 Hub

Overview

The StarTech USB31000S2H is a compact adapter that expands a single USB 3.2 Gen 1 port into a Gigabit Ethernet connection and two additional USB Type-A ports. This is ideal for thin-and-light laptops, ultrabooks, or tablets that lack built-in Ethernet or sufficient USB ports, particularly in environments where reliable wired network connectivity is essential, such as for accessing surveillance VMS or network storage.

Compatibility

This adapter is compatible with any system featuring a USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps) port, including Windows laptops and desktops, macOS systems, and Linux distributions. It supports 10/100/1000 Mbps networks, ensuring broad compatibility with existing network infrastructure. The USB Type-A ports are backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices, though they will operate at USB 2.0 speeds.

Installation Notes

The adapter draws a maximum of 150mA from the host USB port, meaning it typically does not require an external power adapter. It supports Jumbo Frames up to 9K, which can improve network throughput for large data transfers. The device operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F).
