Tripp Lite USB to Ethernet Adapter, USB Type A to Gbe, 10/100 Megabits Per Second
Thin notebooks drop network ports to shave down thickness, which leaves you stuck on wireless when you need a hard line. We build this adapter to give you back a physical copper jack through an ordinary USB port. It rides in a laptop bag without adding bulk.

How this one is built
Integrated pigtail lead
The short built-in cord keeps the adapter housing from blocking neighboring USB ports on crowded laptop sides. The strain relief handles tight bends when packed into a field bag.
Status lights on housing
Small LEDs confirm link activity and network traffic right at the jack. You see right away if the drop is live before opening network settings to troubleshoot a connection.
Host port power
Power draws straight from the bus on the computer. There is no wall wart to carry, and no software drivers are needed to get the network interface working.
Broad system support
The internal chipset communicates directly with Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms. Plug it into the machine and the operating system recognizes the wired Ethernet controller immediately.
