USB 2.0 To LAN RJ45 Female Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

Description

Plug into any USB 2.0 laptop or desktop currently limited to 10/100 Ethernet, and benefit from faster transfers on your Gigabit Ethernet Network. USB 2.0 supports theoretical speeds up to 480Mbs. In practice, most machines will see up to a doubling of network speed by moving from 100Mbs Fast Ethernet to 1000Mbs Gigabit ethernet via USB. Also works on 10/100 Ethernet networks at their native speeds.

Common Uses

Add an additional network interface to any Windows, Mac, or Linux computer via a simple USB adapter. Improve the connectivity speed of your current 100 Mbs Fast Ethernet computer when a Gigabit Ethernet network is available (see details below on Gigabit Ethernet over USB 2.0 speeds). Improved connectivity speed vs. computers currently connected over WiFi/802.11 wireless networks
