USB-C adapter Obsbot Tail Air with 1x USB-C and 1x RJ45 (model 230342)

Obsbot Tail Air USB-C adapter (model 230342) is a compact accessory that adds a wired network interface and an extra USB-C port to devices with a single USB-C connector. The adapter integrates a full-size RJ45 Ethernet port alongside a USB-C passthrough, enabling a stable Gigabit-style network connection while maintaining power delivery or data access through the USB-C port. It is intended for laptops, tablets and cameras that require a reliable wired network connection where a built-in LAN jack is not available.

Advantages

The adapter provides a physical Ethernet connection for improved network stability and lower latency compared with typical Wi‑Fi connections. Its small footprint keeps the setup portable and unobtrusive, and the USB-C passthrough preserves a USB-C power or data path for charging or peripheral connections. The integrated RJ45 port supports standard Ethernet cables for straightforward plug-and-play use without the need for additional hubs.

Suitable for

• Video streaming and live broadcasting from laptops or cameras that lack an RJ45 jack
• Conference calls and remote work where a stable wired connection reduces dropouts
• Large file transfers and backups that benefit from consistent network throughput
• Tablet-based productivity setups requiring wired LAN access

Key specifications

• Connector types: 1× USB-C input/output and 1× RJ45 Ethernet port
• Network capability: Gigabit-style wired Ethernet support for stable, high-throughput connections
• Physical size: compact, pocket-friendly adapter housing
• Compatibility: designed for devices with a USB-C port (laptops, tablets, cameras)
• Plug-and-play operation on supported operating systems without separate power source required

How to use

Connect the adapter's USB‑C plug to the device's USB‑C port. Insert a standard Ethernet cable into the RJ45 port on the adapter and connect the other end to a router, switch or wall Ethernet outlet. If you need to continue powering the device or connect other USB‑C peripherals, use the adapter's USB‑C passthrough for charging or data as supported by your host device. The host system should detect the wired network interface automatically; if necessary, check network settings or install manufacturer-provided drivers when prompted.

Usage recommendations

For reliable Gigabit performance, use a quality Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable and avoid using excessively long or damaged cables. When using the adapter with cameras or compact devices, ensure the connected Ethernet cable does not place mechanical stress on the device’s USB‑C port; secure the cable as needed to prevent accidental disconnection.
