The compact external network card AXAGON ADE-TRC easily turns a USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 port into a Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45. It offers a stable and fast 10/100/1000 Mb/s connection, automatic installation on Windows 8.1+ without internet, broad compatibility with Windows/macOS/Linux/Android, and a durable aluminum body for excellent cooling. Ideal for notebooks and ultrabooks as a replacement for a missing or faulty LAN port.
Expand your computer with a reliable RJ-45 Gigabit port using the lightweight AXAGON ADE-TRC USB-C adapter. The metal aluminum chassis provides excellent cooling and mechanical protection, while the Realtek RTL8153 chipset ensures high compatibility and performance. Plug and play – on Windows 8.1 and newer, drivers install automatically without an internet connection.
The adapter supports 10/100/1000 Mb/s, Auto MDI/MDIX, VLAN 802.1Q, EEE 802.3az, Jumbo Frames, hardware Checksum Offload, and TCP Large Send Offload for lower CPU load. Wake-on-LAN (Magic Packet and other modes) and advanced power management (ACPI, AOAC, LPM, CPPM) are included. Two LEDs indicate link and network activity.
Perfect for notebooks and ultrabooks with USB-C, as well as for selected Android phones and tablets with Ethernet support. The short integrated 15 cm cable makes on-the-go connections easy and saves space in your bag.
- Fast and stable 1 Gb/s connection for streaming, work, and online gaming.
- Wide compatibility with Windows, macOS, Linux, and selected Android devices.
- Durable metal construction in titanium gray.
- Plug & Play and Hot Plug – easy use without complex configuration.
