Speed up and stabilize your connection with the compact AXAGON adapter from USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 to Gigabit Ethernet. The aluminum metal body provides excellent heat dissipation, automatic installation on Windows 8.1 and newer ensures instant functionality without internet, and support for 10/100/1000 Mb/s delivers a reliable network wherever RJ-45 is missing.
The AXAGON external network card turns your USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 port into a fast RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet. It’s ideal for laptops and ultrabooks without LAN, as a second NIC, or as a replacement for a faulty port. The titanium gray metal construction ensures high durability and efficient cooling.
The adapter supports modern networking technologies for higher performance and lower CPU load: Checksum Offload, TCP Large Send Offload, VLAN 802.1Q, Energy Efficient Ethernet 802.3az, Auto MDI/MDIX, Jumbo frame, and flow control. Naturally, there is Wake‑on‑LAN in various modes and advanced power management for longer battery life.
