Description

StarTech C21GA-USB-ETHERNET USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

Overview

The StarTech C21GA-USB-ETHERNET provides a reliable wired network connection for devices lacking an Ethernet port, or when the existing port is insufficient. This adapter bridges the gap for laptops, tablets, and desktops equipped with USB-C, enabling stable Gigabit network speeds essential for large file transfers, video conferencing, and consistent remote access. It also includes an integrated USB-A port, allowing you to retain a USB peripheral connection, such as a mouse or keyboard, without occupying a separate port. This is particularly useful in environments where network stability is paramount, like secure office setups or mobile workstations.

Compatibility

This adapter is compatible with any device featuring a USB 3.2 Gen 1 (or higher) Type-C port. It functions with Windows 10, 11, macOS 10.12+, Linux, and Chrome OS. It is designed to provide a 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet connection, ensuring compatibility with standard network infrastructure. The integrated USB-A port supports USB 3.0 data rates, allowing for high-speed peripheral connectivity.

The adapter operates within an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F) and can be stored between -10°C to 70°C (14°F to 158°F). It requires a humidity level between 10% and 85% RH.
