StarTech.com USB 3.0 1000Mbps Network Speed USB Ethernet Adapter, 203.2 mm, Black

StarTech.com USB Ethernet Adapter, 1000 Mbps Network Speed, 203.2mm Cable Length - USB32000SPT

This USB Ethernet adapter provides a Compact solution for adding a wired network port to systems via a USB connection. It converts a USB Type-A Interface to a Gigabit Ethernet link, enabling wired connectivity where onboard ports are absent or disabled. The device is finished in black and connects using a fixed cable, making it suitable for integration into workstations and test rigs within automation, electronics and mechanical environments.

Features and Benefits:

• USB 3.0 link delivers high-bandwidth network throughput
  Supports 1000 Mbps for fast data transfer and low latency
  USB Type-A connector ensures broad host compatibility
  Meets RoHS and CE standards for regulated installations
  203.2mm cable provides controlled reach without excess slack

Applications

• Suitable for connecting industrial PCs to local networks
  Ideal for firmware updates on embedded hardware via a wired link
  Used with test benches requiring stable Gigabit connections
  Can be used for temporary network access on service laptops

How does it behave when connected to a host lacking drivers?

It operates as a plug-and-play USB Ethernet dongle on systems with native USB 3.0 networking support and will enumerate as a network Interface without user configuration where the host OS includes the appropriate driver.

What connector types are presented to host and network equipment?

One end terminates in a USB Type-A plug for the host and the opposite end provides an Ethernet Interface via an integrated RJ45-compatible connection for standard network cabling.

How does the cable length affect deployment in Compact setups?

The fixed 203.2mm cable offers a short, manageable reach that reduces cable clutter and is suitable for closely positioned hosts and network ports in bench- or rack-adjacent installations.

Can it maintain performance in electrically regulated environments?

The unit complies with RoHS and CE standards, aligning it with environments where restricted substances and Basic conformity markings are required.
