Description

StarTech USB31000S USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

Overview

The StarTech USB31000S is a compact USB-to-Ethernet adapter that provides a reliable wired network connection for devices lacking an integrated RJ45 port. It leverages the USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps) interface to deliver full Gigabit Ethernet speeds, making it suitable for bandwidth-intensive tasks like large file transfers, video streaming, or accessing network-attached storage. This adapter is ideal for modern laptops, ultrabooks, and desktops that have transitioned to USB-C or have limited Ethernet options, ensuring consistent network performance where Wi-Fi might be unstable or unavailable. The USB31000S is powered directly by the USB bus, eliminating the need for an external power adapter.

Compatibility

This adapter is compatible with any computer featuring a USB 3.2 Gen 1 (or higher) Type-A port, running Windows, macOS, or Linux. It supports standard 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet networks. The ASIx AX88179A chipset ensures broad driver support across various operating systems and versions, making it a versatile solution for diverse IT environments.

Installation Notes

The adapter operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) and requires less than 80% humidity. Its integrated 5.3-inch cable is designed for portability. LED indicators for link and activity status provide at-a-glance network connection confirmation.
