USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
The Plugable USB C Ethernet Adapter (USBC-TE1000) adds reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to any USB Type-C equipped computer. Built on the proven Realtek RTL8153 chipset, this adapter delivers 10/100/1000Mbps network speeds for stable, high-performance wired internet access.
Compact and Portable Design
Measuring just 1.8in x 1in x 0.5in (4.6cm x 2.3cm x 1.3cm), the USBC-TE1000 fits easily into laptop bags and pockets. The flexible flat cable design allows the adapter to conform to your workspace while maintaining durability. Unlike traditional round cables, the flat printed circuit cable is more resistant to bending damage and takes up minimal space.
True Plug and Play Experience
No driver installation required. The USBC-TE1000 works immediately upon connection with macOS, Windows 11 and 10, Linux, and ChromeOS systems. This driverless operation makes it ideal for environments requiring driver approval or for users who need instant connectivity without software downloads.
Superior Wired Performance
Wired Ethernet connections provide increased stability and speed compared to WiFi networks. The USBC-TE1000 delivers better performance for streaming, gaming, video conferencing, and large file transfers. Network speeds depend on your internet service and network equipment capabilities.
Common Applications
- Adding wired gigabit network support to macOS, Windows, Linux, and Chrome OS systems
- Replacing or upgrading existing network adapters
- Adding additional network interfaces for multi-network setups
- Transferring files peer-to-peer over Ethernet
- Improving speeds compared to older 10/100 adapters and wireless networks
Wide Compatibility
The Realtek RTL8153 chipset ensures compatibility with USB-C 3.1, 3.0, and 2.0 hosts. Whether you're using a modern ultrabook, desktop with USB-C ports, or a Chromebook, the USBC-TE1000 provides reliable network connectivity across multiple operating systems without configuration hassles.
