Description

StarTech US1GC30B2 USB to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

Overview

The StarTech US1GC30B2 provides a reliable wired network connection for devices lacking an Ethernet port or requiring a secondary connection. This adapter bridges the gap between USB 3.2 Gen 1 and Gigabit Ethernet, enabling data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps over USB and 2 Gbps (full duplex) over the network. It's ideal for laptops, desktops, and other systems needing stable network access for surveillance feeds, file transfers, or general internet use. The compact, bus-powered design makes it a portable solution for mobile professionals or as a permanent addition to a workstation.

Compatibility

This adapter is compatible with any system featuring a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C or Type-A port (using an adapter). It supports Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. For surveillance applications, it can be used to connect NVRs or workstations to a network switch, ensuring consistent bandwidth for video streams. It is designed to work with standard RJ-45 network interfaces found on most network video recorders and switches.

Installation Notes

The adapter is bus-powered, drawing power directly from the USB port, eliminating the need for an external power adapter. It supports Jumbo Frames up to 9K, which can improve throughput for large data transfers by reducing the number of packets processed. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 45°C, making it suitable for standard office or indoor environments.
