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

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.
