UtechSmart USB 3.0 to 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN Network Adapter (ASIX AX88179 Chipset, USB to RJ45)

Product Description

Introduction

The UtechSmart US-USB3-E1000 is an easy way to gain wired gigabit network speeds for faster HD video streaming, gaming, web browsing, network storage and more.

Common uses include adding wired gigabit network support to Macbooks, UltraBooks, or notebooks with no Ethernet connection, or replacing or upgrading network adapters in desktop PCs. Backward compatible with USB 2.0 / 1.1 standards, also useful for adding network interfaces, and transferring files peer-to-peer over Ethernet. This product is NOT a solution for connecting a USB device like a printer to a network.

Performance

Plug into any laptop or desktop currently limited to 10/100 Ethernet, and benefit from faster transfers on your Gigabit Ethernet network. USB 3 systems support theoretical speeds up to 5 GB/sec. , and USB 2.0 supports up to 480 Mb/sec. In practice, most machines will see up to a doubling of network speed by moving from 100Mbs Fast Ethernet to 1000Mbs Gigabit ethernet via USB 2,and could see more than twice that gain on USB 3.0

System Requirements

Supports Windows 2000 / XP / Vista / 7 / 8(32/64-bit), Mac OS 9 or higher.
