Tripp Lite USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter, USB Type C to Gbe, Thunderbolt 3 Compatible

Laptops get thinner by dropping the RJ port first. This adapter bridges that gap, turning a USB-C or Thunderbolt port into a wired Gigabit drop for hotel desks, trade show floors, or crowded offices where wireless signals drop out. Plug it in and the operating system handles the rest.

What it does

How this one is built

Reversible USB-C plug

The Type-C connector fits into your host port either way up. It mates firmly with modern laptops, tablets, and workstations without fumbling around the side of the chassis.

Gigabit network jack

The molded RJ housing accepts standard patch cords to join wired office networks. It negotiates full network speeds directly, keeping large file transfers and video streams moving without the drops common to wireless bands.

Driver-free setup

The adapter runs on standard system drivers across major operating systems. Connect it to an open port and your computer recognizes the wired connection right away, with no install discs or downloads required.

Compact carry profile

Small enough to leave in a laptop sleeve pocket, this adapter rides along to job sites and client conference rooms. It draws all necessary operational power straight from the host USB bus.
