StarTech.com USB 3.2 5Gbps Network Speed USB Ethernet Adapter, 15 mm, Silver

StarTech.com USB Ethernet Adapter, 5Gbps Network Speed, Silver - US1GC30A

This USB Ethernet adapter provides a wired network connection for devices with a USB Type-C port, converting USB 3.2 signalling into Ethernet capability for environments where stable, low-latency links are required. The Compact silver dongle is designed to attach with a very short 15mm lead and supports high-throughput data transfer suitable for industrial and laboratory contexts.

Features and Benefits:

• 5 Gbps throughput enables Faster file transfers and lower latency USB 3.2 Interface permits high-bandwidth host connectivity USB Type-C plug ensures reversible, easy insertion CE and RoHS approvals support regulated deployment Silver finish offers discreet, professional equipment integration

Applications

• Suitable for connecting test rigs requiring high-speed wired links Ideal for factory-floor laptops needing deterministic network access Used with inspection stations that require low-latency data capture Can be used for field-service diagnostic tools needing Ethernet connectivity

Which connector type must the host device provide for compatibility?

The host must offer a USB Type-C receptacle that supports USB 3.2 signalling to deliver the adapter’s full data rate.

How does the short cable length affect installation options?

The 15mm lead minimises strain on ports and is intended for close-proximity attachment where space is limited or when the dongle is used with laptop workstations.

What performance level can be expected for bulk data transfers?

Throughput up to 5 Gbps allows sustained high-speed transfers useful for large dataset movement and real-time monitoring.

Are there environmental or regulatory considerations for deploying the device?

The unit carries CE and RoHS markings indicating conformity with relevant European safety and hazardous-substances restrictions.
