CableCreation USB 3.0 to Ethernet Adapter White

SKU CH-6047-9RMZ4

Adds a Gigabit RJ45 port via USB 3.0 with 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds and broad OS compatibility

  • Gigabit wired network via USB 3.0 port
  • Backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 standards
  • Driver-free on Windows 8.1 and 10
  • Wake-on-LAN support for remote power management
  • IEEE 802.3az energy-efficient Ethernet compliance

Wired network for USB-C laptops

This adapter adds a Gigabit RJ45 port to ultrabooks and notebooks that lack built-in Ethernet. It connects through a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface and works with Windows, macOS and Linux systems. The link negotiates at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps and remains compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 hosts. Buyers who need multi-gigabit or fibre connectivity cannot use this device.

Cool silent operation no fan

The unit draws power from the USB bus and has no moving parts, so it runs silently and adds negligible heat to the host. IEEE 802.3az energy-efficient Ethernet reduces idle power when the link is inactive. Full-duplex and half-duplex flow control under IEEE 802.3x keeps traffic smooth without extra cooling. Users who require PoE pass-through or external power input will not find those features here.

Driver once then plug and play

Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 load the driver automatically, while Windows 7, XP, Vista, macOS and Linux need a one-time manual install. After that the adapter supports Wake-on-LAN, crossover detection and auto-correction for hassle-free reconnection. IEEE 802.3, 802.3u and 802.3ab compliance ensures broad switch compatibility. Shoppers who want zero-driver operation on every OS should choose a different model.

Questions about this item

How do I install the USB 3.0 to Ethernet adapter on Windows 7 and what step is often missed?

Insert the adapter into a USB 3.0 port, then run the driver installer before connecting any network cable; the driver is not included on the device itself.

What maintenance or replacement will the RJ45 port need over time?

The RJ45 port has no moving parts; keep it free of dust and replace the adapter only if the port becomes physically damaged or the link LEDs fail.

What is the first throughput limit reached during a sustained 1000 Mbps transfer?

The USB 3.0 interface caps at 5 Gbps, so the 1000 Mbps Ethernet link will saturate before the bus becomes a bottleneck.
