StarTech.com Adapter USB 3.2 Gen 2 40 mm Black 10Gbps Network Speed

StarTech Adapter, 40mm Cable Length, 10 Gbps Network Speed - U32-AMCF-USBADAPTER

This adaptor provides a compact solution for connecting USB‑A hosts to high‑speed 10GbE networks. Designed for scenarios where a fast external network link is needed, it uses the USB 3.2 Gen2 interface to deliver multi‑gigabit throughput while maintaining a discreet, black finish and a very short cable length for near‑port placement.

Features and Benefits:

• USB 3.2 Gen2 interface delivers up to 10Gbps throughput
  USB‑A connectivity supports legacy host ports
  CE/FCC/ICES EMC approvals reduce interference risk
  Black housing minimises visual impact in professional setups
  40mm cable length enables close‑proximity connection

Applications

• Used for upgrading laptop network performance without internal changes
  Suitable for desktop systems lacking native 10GbE ports
  Ideal for temporary high‑speed network access in meetings
  Can be used for quick link tests during network deployment
  Used with compact workstations in constrained spaces

What signalling rate can I expect when transferring large files?

The interface supports 10Gbps line‑rate transfers when matched with a compatible 10GbE switch and adequate host throughput.

How does the short cable length affect installation flexibility?

The 40mm lead is intended for direct connection to a host port, reducing cable clutter and latency but limiting reach to nearby ports.

Which host port type is required for operation?

A USB‑A receptacle compliant with the USB 3.2 Gen2 specification is required to achieve the adaptor’s rated speed.

What electromagnetic considerations are addressed?

The unit meets CE, FCC and ICES EMC criteria to control emissions and susceptibility in typical office environments.
