Unitek USB3.0 to 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN Network Adapter for Mac Windows Linux(ASIX AX88179 Chipset,USB to RJ45)

Product Description

The USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter adds Gigabit Ethernet network connectivity to a laptop or desktop through a USB port. 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. Also works on 10/100 Ethernet networks at their native speeds..
