Add powerful connectivity to your USB-C enabled laptop, tablet or desktop computer. Ideal for mobile use, this USB-C to Ethernet adapter plugs into your USB-C or Thunderbolt™ 3 port to provide wired network access, and gives you three USB 3.0 Type-A ports to connect your peripheral devices. Plus you can charge your laptop as you work. It makes a great companion for your MacBook, Chromebook Pixel™, Dell™ XPS 12, or other device.
Access reliable Gigabit network connections
Gain a wired internet connection virtually anywhere you go. The USB-C network adapter provides an Ethernet port that supports full Gigabit bandwidth by harnessing the performance of USB 3.0 (5 Gbps), also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1. You can connect to a network in locations where Wi-Fi® is unavailable or unreliable, and quickly access large files over the network at Gigabit speed.
Enhance productivity with a 3-port USB hub
Some USB Type-C laptops, tablets and computers have only one port for external connectivity, which limits the number of peripheral devices you can use. This USB-C Ethernet adapter features a built-in hub with three USB Type-A ports, giving you the freedom to attach additional devices, such as a USB mouse or flash drive. You can expand the number of USB ports you have to enhance your productivity.
Gain easy portability
Travel-sized and self-powered, this USB-C network adapter and hub provides easy portability, tucking easily into your laptop bag and eliminating the need to carry a separate Gigabit Ethernet adapter and USB-C to USB-A hub. It’s ideal for mobile use, providing you with wired network connectivity wherever you go, and letting you plug in extra USB peripheral devices. It also has a built-in USB-Type-C cable so it’s always there when you need it.
Power and charge as you work
The USB-C network adapter lets you power and charge your laptop as you work, while powering the hub at the same time. The adapter supports Power Delivery 2.0, so instead of carrying multiple power adapters, you can use your laptop’s USB-C power adapter to power both your laptop and network adapter. Note: just make sure your laptop’s USB-C based power adapter supports USB Power Delivery 2.0.
Install it with ease
Get up and running quickly. Simply plug the adapter into the USB Type-C™ port on your laptop and connect to your network. It automatically installs once you connect it, and works with a wide range of operating systems such as Windows®, macOS, Linux® and Chrome OS™.
The US1GC303APD is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.

Special Notes / Requirements | |
Note | Not all USB-C ports support the full functionality of the USB Type-C standard. Ensure that your host laptop's USB-C port supports USB Power Delivery 2.0 |
The adapter can connect to a host laptop’s USB-C port that doesn’t support USB Power Delivery 2.0. However, in this configuration if a power adapter is connected to the hub, it will not pass power through to your host laptop. | |
The adapter's USB-C port is for USB Power Delivery only. It does not support DisplayPort alt mode, or data transfers. | |
USB 3.0 is also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1; this connectivity standard offers speeds up to 5Gbps. | |
System and Cable Requirements | Available USB Type-C port - USB 3.0 (5Gbps) (to ensure the network adapter powers and charges your laptop, your host laptop's USB-C port must support USB Power Delivery 2.0) |
Optional: USB-C power adapter (for example, your laptop’s USB-C based power adapter) | |

Connectivity technology The technology that enables connectivity of the device, e.g. wired or wireless. | Wired |
Host interface Interface that enables a host controller to communicate with a driver. | USB |
Interface Interface ports to connect pieces of equipment. USB (Universal Serial Bus) has become the most popular wired interface to connect peripherals. USB 2.0 supports speeds up to 480 Mbit/s (USB 1: 12 Mbit/s). The interface FireWire is also known as the IEEE 1394 standard. Enhanced IDE (EIDE)is sometimes referred to as Fast ATA, Fast IDE or ATA-2. | Ethernet |

Chipset Set of electronic components in an integrated circuit that manages the data flow between the processor, memory and peripherals. It is usually found in the motherboard of a computer. Chipsets are usually designed to work with a specific family of microprocessors. Because it controls communications between the processor and external devices, the chipset plays a crucial role in determining system performance. | VIA/VLI - VL100, VIA/VLI - VL813, Realtek - RTL8153 |
RoHS compliance The Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive aims to restrict certain dangerous substances commonly used in electrical and electronic equipment. Any RoHS compliant product is tested for the presence of Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Mercury (Hg), Hexavalent chromium (Hex-Cr), Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE). PBB and PBDE are flame retardants used in several plastics. For Cadmium and Hexavalent chromium, there must be less than 0.01% of the substance by weight at raw homogeneous materials level. For Lead, PBB, and PBDE, there must be no more than 0.1% of the material, when calculated by weight at raw homogeneous materials. Any RoHS compliant component must have 100 ppm or less of mercury and the mercury must not have been intentionally added to the component. In the EU, some military and medical equipment are exempt from RoHS compliance. |
