axagon ade-txca gigabit ethernet adapter usb‑c/usb‑a 3.2 gen 1 with automatic installation
The universal AXAGON ADE‑TXCA USB network card adds or replaces a missing RJ‑45 port and ensures a reliable wired connection wherever Wi‑Fi is unstable. Thanks to the included USB‑C → USB‑A adapter, you can connect it to virtually any computer, tablet, or phone. The aluminum metal body provides durability and efficient heat dissipation while keeping minimal dimensions and low weight.
The adapter supports Gigabit Ethernet, auto‑negotiation for 10/100/1000 Mb/s, Wake‑on‑LAN, VLAN 802.1Q, 802.1p prioritization, Jumbo frames, and advanced power‑management features including EEE 802.3az. Smooth operation is ensured by the modern ASIX AX88179A chipset with offloads to reduce CPU load and hardware timestamping for precise synchronization.
