## Long description

The StarTech USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (USB31000SW) provides a compact solution for adding a wired RJ45 network port to laptops, desktops and other USB-enabled devices. Designed for USB 3.0 hosts, the adapter supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet and offers full Gigabit performance when connected to a USB 3.0 port while remaining backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.x ports. The white housing makes it unobtrusive on workstations and portable systems, and the adapter supports advanced Ethernet features such as Jumbo Frames, VLAN tagging and Wake on LAN for more flexible network integration.
Advantages
This adapter enables reliable wired network connectivity without opening a computer or installing internal cards. It provides full Gigabit throughput on USB 3.0 hosts and fallbacks to lower speeds on older USB buses. The compact external design is portable and suitable for travel, while support for Jumbo Frames, VLAN tagging and Wake on LAN increases compatibility with business networks and advanced home setups. The adapter is TAA compliant and comes with manufacturer support and warranty.
Suitable for
Adding a Gigabit RJ45 port to ultrabooks and laptops that lack a built-in Ethernet jack
Providing a secondary or replacement network interface for desktops and mini PCs
Network setup, troubleshooting and diagnostics where a stable wired connection is required
Business environments requiring VLAN support, Jumbo Frames or Wake on LAN functionality
Key specifications
Interface: USB 3.0 (backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.x)
Network speed: 10/100/1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
Connector: RJ45 (Ethernet)
Supported features: Jumbo Frames, VLAN tagging, Wake on LAN (WOL)
Color: White
Form factor: External compact USB adapter
How to use
Connect the adapter to an available USB 3.0 port on the host computer for optimal performance; the adapter will negotiate the highest supported Ethernet speed with the network. Plug a CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable into the RJ45 port and the network switch or router. On most modern operating systems the adapter is detected automatically and installs generic drivers; if required, install the manufacturer’s drivers to enable advanced features like VLAN tagging or Wake on LAN. Use network settings on the host to configure IP addressing and any VLAN configurations as needed.
Usage recommendations
For sustained Gigabit throughput, use a USB 3.0 port and quality Cat5e/Cat6 cabling; verify operating system drivers are up to date to enable full feature support. When using features such as Jumbo Frames or VLAN tagging, ensure corresponding settings are configured on network switches and endpoints to avoid interoperability issues.
