## Long description

USB C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter StarTech US1GC301AUW connects a laptop or desktop with a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port to a wired Gigabit network and provides an extra USB Type-A port for an additional peripheral.

Native driver support for Chrome OS, Windows and macOS simplifies installation — just plug into the USB-C port and connect the RJ45 cable. The reversible USB-C connector and bus-powered design improve portability and reduce cable clutter. An integrated USB Type-A port provides additional connectivity when a single USB-C port is available.

How to use
Plug the adapter into the USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port on your laptop or desktop. Connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port to access a wired network. If required, attach a USB Type-A peripheral to the built-in USB port. The adapter uses native drivers on Chrome OS, Windows and macOS, so no additional driver installation is normally necessary; once connected the system should recognise the network interface and establish a wired connection.
Usage recommendations
For stable high-speed transfers, use Cat5e or higher Ethernet cabling and connect to a Gigabit-capable switch or router. Keep the adapter unobstructed for airflow and avoid excessive bending of the USB-C cable to reduce wear.
