Network adapter VALUE 12.99.1127 USB Type-A to 5 Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45), Black/Silver

The VALUE 12.99.1127 USB Type-A to 5 Gigabit Ethernet adapter adds a high-speed wired network connection to computers with a USB Type-A port. It supports up to 5 Gbit/s throughput and uses an RJ-45 connector for connection to Ethernet networks. The adapter has a compact, two-tone black and silver housing and is intended for systems that lack native 5 GbE ports.

Advantages

This adapter delivers multi-gigabit wired performance over a USB Type-A interface, enabling faster transfer speeds than standard Gigabit Ethernet where supported. Its compact form factor and plug-and-play USB connection make it easy to install on laptops, desktops, and thin clients. The two-tone black and silver design provides a neutral, unobtrusive appearance for office and home use.

Suitable for

• Adding 5 Gbit/s wired networking to laptops and notebooks without 5 GbE ports
• Connecting desktops or thin clients to multi-gigabit Ethernet switches
• Temporary network upgrades for file transfers, backups, or media streaming

When it may not be suitable

This adapter requires a USB Type-A host port and driver support on the operating system; it is not suitable for devices that only provide USB-C without a compatible adapter. Achievable network speed also depends on the host system, drivers, and network infrastructure—if the connected network or switch only supports lower speeds, the adapter cannot exceed those limits.

Key specifications

• Host interface: USB Type-A
• Network interface: RJ-45 (Ethernet)
• Maximum throughput: up to 5 Gbit/s
• Physical design: compact, black and silver housing

How to use

Plug the adapter into an available USB Type-A port on the computer and connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port. Install any required drivers if the operating system does not automatically recognise the device. After the driver is installed, configure the network settings in the operating system or let DHCP assign an IP address. Use the connection for file transfers, network access, or other wired networking tasks.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the computer has a USB Type-A port and appropriate driver support
• Confirm the network infrastructure (switch, router, cabling) supports multi-gigabit speeds to benefit from 5 Gbit/s
• Check available USB bandwidth if other high-bandwidth USB devices are used simultaneously

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, use Cat5e or higher cabling and a compatible multi-gigabit switch or router. Verify and install the latest drivers from the system or adapter manufacturer to ensure stable performance and full 5 Gbit/s capability.
