ShiverPeaks USB-C to RJ45 LAN Adapter Cable BS14-51085, 1 Gbps, USB Type-C to Gigabit Ethernet, Aluminum, Black, 15 m

The ShiverPeaks USB-C to RJ45 LAN Adapter Cable BS14-51085 provides a 15 m wired connection between devices with a USB Type-C port and Gigabit Ethernet networks. The cable terminates in a USB-C male connector on one end and an RJ45 plug on the other, delivering up to 1 Gbps throughput for stable network access. The connector housings use aluminum in a black finish, and the extended 15-m length is intended for flexible placement of laptops, tablets or USB-C devices in environments where Wi‑Fi coverage is weak or where a reliable wired link is preferred.

Advantages

The adapter cable offers Gigabit Ethernet performance over a single USB Type-C connection, enabling consistent throughput for streaming, VoIP calls and large file transfers. Its 15 m length allows placement flexibility without the need for additional patch cords or extenders, while the aluminum housings add mechanical protection and a compact, professional appearance. The direct cable design reduces the number of connectors and potential failure points compared with separate adapter plus patch-cable setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting laptops or tablets with USB-C ports to wired networks for stable internet access
• Streaming high-definition video and online meetings over a reliable wired link
• VoIP calls and latency-sensitive applications requiring a consistent connection
• Large file transfers, backups and data synchronization where Wi‑Fi is slow or congested

When it may not be suitable

This product is not a general-purpose USB hub or power-delivery cable; it provides network connectivity only. It will not increase network speed beyond the Gigabit Ethernet limit of 1 Gbps, so it may not be suitable for environments with multi-gigabit requirements. Some devices may need drivers or OS support for USB-C Ethernet adapters—verify compatibility with your device before purchase.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 15 m
• Interface (host): USB Type‑C male
• Interface (network): RJ45 (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Maximum data rate: 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Housing material: aluminum
• Color: black

How to use

Connect the USB-C male plug to a compatible device’s USB Type‑C port and insert the RJ45 plug into a network wall outlet or Ethernet switch. After connecting, allow the operating system to detect and configure the network adapter; on some systems this may occur automatically, while others may require installing drivers. Once recognized, configure network settings as needed (DHCP or static IP) and verify link speed and connectivity in the OS network status panel.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the host device supports USB-C data and USB Ethernet adapters (not all USB-C ports provide data functions)
• Verify that 1 Gbps Ethernet speed meets your network performance requirements
• Check whether your operating system requires drivers for USB-C to Ethernet adapters
• Consider cable routing and the 15 m length for workspace layout and potential trip hazards

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the adapter with devices known to support USB‑C Ethernet and connect to Gigabit-capable switches or routers. Avoid sharp bends and heavy weights on the cable to maintain consistent link quality. If you experience connectivity issues, test with a different USB-C port or verify driver availability from your device vendor.
