## Long description

The StarTech USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapter (USB31000SW) adds a single RJ45 Ethernet port to a laptop or desktop via a USB 3.0 connection, enabling wired network access with Gigabit speeds. The compact white adapter is backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.x ports (operating at reduced speed on older buses) and supports networking features such as Jumbo Frames, VLAN tagging and Wake on LAN (WOL). It is TAA-compliant and designed for portable use when a dedicated Ethernet interface is required.
Advantages
This adapter delivers Gigabit Ethernet performance when connected to a USB 3.0 host, providing a reliable wired alternative for devices without a built-in RJ45 port. Its backward compatibility with USB 2.0/1.x ensures broad device support, and included protocol support (IEEE 802.1Q, IEEE 802.3ab, IEEE 802.3az, IEEE 802.3i, IEEE 802.3u) and features like Jumbo Frames and WOL increase its versatility for both home and business networks. The compact white design makes it easy to carry as a laptop accessory.
Suitable for
Adding a wired Gigabit connection to laptops or desktops without an Ethernet port
Temporary workstation setups and hot-desk environments
Small office or home networks requiring VLAN tagging or Jumbo Frames

How to use
Connect the adapter to an available USB 3.0 port on your laptop or desktop. Plug an Ethernet cable into the adapter’s RJ45 port and into your network switch or router. On most modern operating systems the adapter will be recognized automatically and the appropriate driver installed; if not, install drivers provided by the system vendor or StarTech. For best performance, use a USB 3.0 port and a Cat5e or higher Ethernet cable to achieve Gigabit speeds.
Usage recommendations
For optimal throughput use a USB 3.0 host port and Cat5e or Cat6 cabling. When connecting to legacy USB 2.0 or 1.x ports, expect reduced transfer speeds. Enable Jumbo Frames and VLAN tagging only if supported by your network equipment. Keep the adapter in a ventilated area and avoid excessive bending of the USB connector to preserve longevity.
