Product information

Description

StarTech.com USB-C to Ethernet adapter (model US2GC30) provides wired 2.5 GbE network connectivity for laptops and desktops with a USB Type-C port. The compact adapter uses USB 3.0 performance to deliver multi-speed Ethernet access (2.5/1/0.1 Gbps) and is compatible with Mac, Windows and Linux systems, enabling fast file transfers and reliable wired networking when Wi‑Fi is unavailable or insufficient.

Advantages

This adapter supports full 2.5 Gigabit bandwidth over a USB 3.0 Type-C connection and uses the Realtek RTL8156BG chipset for native driver support on macOS and Linux. Windows systems without a local driver will be prompted to download the adapter firmware automatically, allowing quick installation even without prior driver setup. The unit is bus-powered, lightweight and compact for easy portability and desktop use.

Suitable for

  • Connecting laptops and ultrabooks with USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 to wired networks
  • Office and home workstations requiring faster-than-gigabit wired access
  • Transferring large files over a 2.5 GbE network
  • Temporary or permanent wired network access where internal NIC upgrade is not possible

Key specifications

  • Model: US2GC30
  • Maximum data transfer rate: 5000 Mbit/s (supports 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps, 100 Mbps)
  • Host interface: USB Type-C (USB 3.0)
  • Networking standards: IEEE 802.3bz, IEEE 802.3ab, IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.3i, IEEE 802.3x, IEEE 802.1Q
  • Chipset: Realtek RTL8156BG
  • Product colours: Black, Grey
  • Weight: 0.0397 kg

How to use

Plug the USB-C end of the adapter into an available USB Type-C or Thunderbolt 3 port on your computer, then connect a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable from the adapter to your network switch, router or wall jack. The adapter is bus-powered so no external power supply is required. On macOS and Linux the necessary driver is provided natively; on Windows systems the adapter will prompt for or automatically download the appropriate driver when needed.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use Cat5e or higher-rated Ethernet cabling and connect to network equipment that supports 2.5 GbE. Keep the adapter unobstructed to avoid heat buildup during sustained high-speed transfers.
