Plugable USB 3.1 Type C (USB C) 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter The Plugable USB-C 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (USBC-E1000) is an easy way to gain wired gigabit network speeds over USB-C for faster HD video streaming, gaming, web browsing, network access and more. It's also the perfect travel companion for any laptop or tablet due to its small size and USB bus powered design. Some common uses include: Adding wired gigabit network support to Windows, Ultrabooks, or notebooks without an Ethernet connectionReplacing or upgrading network adapters for your computerUSB network adapters can improve speeds compared to older 10/100 adapters, and most wireless networksAdding additional network interfaces, and transferring files peer-to-peer over Ethernet Please note, this adapter is NOT a solution for connecting USB devices like printers, hard drives, etc. to a network. This adapter cannot be used to share Ethernet, WiFi, or data between multiple devices. Preboot Execution Environment (PXE). This adapter is NOT supported on macOS. Please see our comparison chart below for info on adapters that are supported on macOS. Compatibility Compatible with Windows, Linux, & ChromeOS, USB C & Thunderbolt 3 Systems Microsoft Windows 10, 8.1 & 7. Linux kernels 3.9 and above have built in driversSupported on up-to-date ChromeOS systemsNintendo Switch in handheld mode. The built-in performance test on the Nintendo Switch provides inconsistent results due to its implementation, even with the built-in Wi-Fi connection on the Switch. It is recommended to run the test several times to see the variance. NOT compatible with macOS, Windows RT, and Android Not supported with macOSARM-based Windows RT & Windows MobileMost Android devices, Tivo Series 2, Wii or other non-PC/Mac platforms. Not recommended for use with FreeBSD or PFSense.

(Also works on 10/100 Ethernet networks at their native speeds.) USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-C ports support theoretical maximum transfer speeds up to 5Gbps and USB 2.0 Type-C supports up to 480Mbps. Most machines will see up to a doubling of network speeds by moving from a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet to a 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet via USB 2.0 and could see substantially larger gains on USB 3.0 and 3.1. Note: When accessing sites on the Internet, the bandwidth provided by your Internet service provider will likely determine your ultimate speeds. Testing in the Plugable lab using the iperf application on a local server have yielded speeds up to 890 Mbps. However real-world speeds around 400-600 Mbps are more realistic.
