Network adapter VALUE 12.99.1128 USB Type-C to RJ-45 5 Gbit/s, black/silver

VALUE 12.99.1128 is a compact network adapter that converts a USB Type-C host port to a wired Ethernet connection up to 5 Gbit/s. It provides RJ-45 network access for laptops, tablets and small workstations that lack a built-in 5 Gigabit Ethernet port. The adapter is available in black and silver and is intended to add reliable, high-speed wired connectivity via a USB-C interface.

Advantages

The adapter offers up to 5 Gbit/s throughput over a standard RJ-45 connection while using a USB Type-C host interface, enabling faster wired transfers than typical Gigabit adapters. Its compact form factor and simple plug-and-play operation make it easy to carry and use with portable devices. Available in two colors, it integrates unobtrusively with different device styles.

Suitable for

• Connecting laptops or tablets with USB-C ports to wired Ethernet networks
• Workstations or compact PCs without native 5 Gbit/s Ethernet
• Users needing higher-than-1Gbps wired bandwidth for file transfer, streaming or video conferencing

When it may not be suitable

This adapter requires a host device with a functional USB Type-C port that supports the necessary USB protocol; it will not add Ethernet to devices without compatible USB-C support. It also depends on the network infrastructure and cabling—achieving 5 Gbit/s requires appropriate network switches, cabling and endpoints that support multi-gig speeds.

Key specifications

• Interface (host): USB Type-C
• Interface (network): RJ-45
• Maximum link speed: up to 5 Gbit/s
• Colours: black, silver
• Form factor: compact external adapter

How to use

Connect the adapter’s USB Type-C plug to the host device’s USB-C port and insert an RJ-45 Ethernet cable into the adapter’s network port. The device should automatically detect the adapter; if necessary, install drivers supplied by the operating system or the manufacturer. Verify network settings on the host and ensure the network switch or router supports the required speed.

What to consider before purchase

• Whether the host USB-C port supports the required USB protocol and drivers
• Existing network infrastructure and cabling capable of multi-gigabit speeds
• Compatibility with the operating system used on the host device

Usage recommendations

Use quality Ethernet cables and a compatible multi-gigabit switch or router to reach the adapter’s maximum throughput. Keep the adapter free of strain on the USB-C connection and verify driver updates for optimal performance.
