Gigabit Ethernet NIC Adapter USB 3.0, Black - StarTech USB31000NDS

The StarTech USB31000NDS is a compact network interface card that connects to a computer via USB 3.0 and provides a single Gigabit Ethernet port. It supports full Gigabit bandwidth when used with a USB 3.0 host, making it ideal for high-speed data transfers and reliable network connections. The adapter is suitable for both home and business environments, offering compatibility with various network standards and features.

This adapter supports IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3ab standards, ensuring compatibility with 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T networks. It also includes Auto MDIX for crossover detection and correction, eliminating the need for crossover cables in most setups. The device is powered through the USB port, making it convenient for use with laptops or desktops that lack an Ethernet port.

The USB31000NDS is designed to be portable and easy to use, with a compact form factor that fits well in both desktop and laptop environments. It includes support for advanced features like Jumbo Frames and VLAN tagging, which are useful in more complex networking scenarios.

The adapter comes with all necessary components for immediate use, requiring only a USB 3.0 port and an Ethernet cable to connect to a network. While it works with USB 2.0 ports, performance will be limited to the slower speed of USB 2.0 in such cases. It is a reliable solution for users needing a portable or temporary Ethernet connection without the need for internal hardware installation.
