Connecting to faster, more reliable wired networks to avoid reception issues with WiFi. Anyone with a USB 2.0 Ethernet adapter on a USB Type-C system interested in improving connection speeds. Sharing your internet connection to another device from a Windows PC. Replacing a damaged Ethernet port without opening a PC case. To maximize network access speeds, select a USB Type-C SuperSpeed Gigabit network adapter if your computer has a USB Type-C port. USB 2.0 gigabit adapters are limited to maximum speeds of 480 Mbps by the USB 2.0 bus, while USB 3.0 bus allows the USB3-E1000 to realize the full potential of a Gigabit network, since it isn't limited by the USB bus speed. Testing in the Plugable lab using the iperf application on a local server have yielded speeds up to 890 Mbps. However real-world speeds around 400-600 Mbps are more realistic. When accessing sites on the internet, the bandwidth provided by your Internet service provider will likely determine your ultimate speeds. ## Features - Faster than Wi-Fi: Get a faster, more stable connection than Wi-Fi by adding a wired Gigabit connection to a Thunderbolt, USB4, or USB-C port; this plug-and-play Gigabit Ethernet USB C adapter delivers superior performance and stability compared to most Wi-Fi networks - Speed: Use an Ethernet cable to access speeds of up to 1000 Mbps on a compatible gigabit network, eliminating the need to rely on unreliable Wi-Fi; upgrade your USB-C port with Gigabit Ethernet for a faster and more reliable connection than Wi-Fi - Plug-and-Play: Simply connect the USB to Ethernet adapter without downloading or installing; enjoy seamless connectivity - Compatibility: This Ethernet to USB-C adapter is compatible with Windows 10 and later, MacOS 10.15 or later, iPhone 15/Pro/Pro Max, Chrome OS, Linux Kernel 3.9 or later, as well as the Switch portable gaming device. - Enhanced performance: Enhance your network connection with this USB C Gigabit Ethernet adapter for faster, more stable connectivity, ideal for gaming, streaming and bandwidth-intensive activities. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B011DDXGVC | | Best Sellers Rank | #39,363 in Computers ( See Top 100 in Computers ) #285 in USB Computer Network Adapters | | Brand | Plugable | | Built-In Media | Main Product | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Laptop | | Connector Type | USB Type C | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (444) | | Finish | Matte | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00819927010814 | | Item Dimensions | 19 x 11.4 x 2.9 centimeters | | Item Type Name | Gigabit Ethernet Card | | Item Weight | 68 g | | Manufacturer | Plugable | | Mfr Part Number | USBC-E1000 | | Model Number | USBC-E1000 | | Nominal Power | 5 Watts | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Ports | 1 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | Specific Uses For Product | Tablet | | UPC | 819927010814 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Type | Limited | ## Product Details - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible devices:** Desktop, Laptop - **Connector type:** USB Type C - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 19 x 11.4 x 2.9 centimeters - **Specific uses for product:** Tablet ## Images ![USB C to Ethernet Gigabit 10/100/1000 LAN Network Adapter (ASIX AX88179 chipset Compatible with Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, OS X/macOS, Linux, Chrome OS, Switch Game Console) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/611VfsiUELL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Frequently Bought Together - Plugable USB C to Ethernet Adapter, Fast and Reliable Thunderbolt or USB C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter, Compatible with Windows, Mac, iPhone 15, ChromeOS, Dell XPS, Switch - Plugable USB to Ethernet Adapter, USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet, Supports Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 7, XP, Linux, Chrome OS - Plugable USB 2.0 to Ethernet Fast 10/100 LAN Wired Network Adapter - Driverless and Compatible with Chromebook, Windows, Linux --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/254220111-usb-c-to-ethernet-gigabit-10-100-1000-lan-network](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/254220111-usb-c-to-ethernet-gigabit-10-100-1000-lan-network) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-06*
