StarTech USB31000SW USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
Overview
The StarTech USB31000SW is a compact USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet adapter. It provides a stable, wired network connection for devices that lack an integrated RJ45 port or have a malfunctioning one. This adapter is critical for ensuring consistent network throughput for tasks like streaming video, transferring large files, or maintaining reliable remote access, especially in environments where Wi-Fi can be inconsistent or insufficient. It's an ideal solution for thin clients, ultrabooks, or any desktop system needing a dependable wired network link. The USB31000SW leverages the higher bandwidth of USB 3.0 to deliver full Gigabit Ethernet speeds.
Compatibility
This adapter is compatible with Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, and XP. It also supports macOS 10.11 and later, and Linux kernel 3.x/4.x. It functions with any USB 3.0 or higher port, ensuring broad compatibility with most modern laptops and desktops. For surveillance systems, it can be used to add a wired network connection to a desktop workstation used for VMS client access or NVR configuration.
Installation Notes
Installation requires a USB 3.0 port and driver installation, which is typically handled automatically by modern operating systems. Ensure your operating system is up-to-date for the best driver support. The adapter draws power directly from the USB port, so no external power adapter is required.
